What is it?

Executive dysfunction is a breakdown in your brain's management system. Task paralysis is the freeze state that happens when your brain cannot pick a starting point. It feels like your body has lost the remote control to your own actions.

Signs & Symptoms

A heavy feeling in your limbs when you think about working
Staring at a screen or room without knowing where to start
Deep guilt because you are resting but not feeling rested

Why does this happen?

Your prefrontal cortex is the boss of your brain. In ADHD, this boss lacks the dopamine it needs to rank tasks. When you feel overwhelmed, your amygdala treats the task like a threat. This triggers a freeze response that shuts down your ability to move.

The Action Plan

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

Acknowledge the freeze

1m

Tell yourself out loud that your brain is currently overwhelmed.

2

Pick one tiny micro-step

2m

Focus only on the very first physical movement required.

3

Use a body double

5m

Ask a friend to sit nearby or join a virtual focus group.

Stop fighting your brain.
