What is it?

Task paralysis is a state of mental freeze. It happens when your brain sees a list of chores as a series of threats. You feel stuck because your mind cannot decide which path is the safest to take.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling physically unable to get off the couch or chair.
Doom scrolling on your phone while feeling deep guilt.
A heavy feeling in your chest when thinking about chores.

Why does this happen?

This is the science bit. Your prefrontal cortex handles planning and focus. In an ADHD brain, this area can lose control to the amygdala. The amygdala is your brain's alarm system. It sees a difficult task and triggers a freeze response, just like seeing a predator.

The Action Plan

Try breaking down your next task like this to overcome the block:
1

The One-Inch Rule

1m

Identify the smallest physical movement you can make, like touching a pen.

2

The Two-Minute Timer

2m

Commit to working for only 120 seconds with no pressure to finish.

3

Change Your View

5m

Move to a different room or a different chair to reset your brain.

Stop fighting your brain.
