What is it?

Task paralysis is when you have a lot to do but can't start anything. It is like being stuck in mental traffic. You see the road, but you can't hit the gas.

Signs & Symptoms

Staring at a screen for an hour without typing
Feeling frozen on the couch while thinking about chores
Scrolling on your phone even though you are bored and tired

Why does this happen?

Your brain sees a simple task as a giant mountain. This causes a stress response. Your brain shuts down to keep you safe from the big feelings.

The Action Plan

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

Spot the freeze

1m

Notice when you are staring at a wall or your phone.

2

Lower the bar

1m

Pick the easiest part, like just opening a laptop.

3

Use a timer

5m

Set a timer for only five minutes to get started.

Stop fighting your brain.
