ADHD How to Stop Procrastinating and Start Moving
You are staring at your to-do list. You know what you need to do. Your brain just will not let you start. This is not a lack of willpower. It is a physical feeling of being stuck. You are hitting an invisible wall that others cannot see.
What is it?
Procrastination in ADHD is often task paralysis. It is a breakdown in the system that turns a thought into an action. It is not about avoiding work. It is about a brain that cannot find the spark to ignite.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex is the boss of your brain. It needs dopamine to send signals. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels are often low. When a task feels boring or hard, your amygdala senses stress. It triggers a freeze response. Your brain treats a boring task like a physical threat.
The Action Plan
The Five Minute Rule
Tell yourself you will only work for five minutes and can stop after.
