What is it?

Executive dysfunction is a breakdown in the management system of your brain. It makes it hard to start tasks, stay organized, and manage time. For a mom, this means the constant flow of chores and schedules can feel overwhelming.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling paralyzed when the house is messy
Struggling to decide what to make for dinner
Forgetting school events or permission slips
Losing your keys or phone several times a day

Why does this happen?

Your prefrontal cortex acts like a CEO for your brain. In ADHD brains, this CEO has a hard time getting enough dopamine to stay focused. This makes it very difficult to switch between playing with your kids and doing the laundry. Your brain gets stuck in a loop because it cannot decide which task is the most important.

The Action Plan

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

Identify the friction

2m

Notice which part of the task makes you want to quit.

2

Lower the bar

1m

Make the task so small that it feels silly not to do it.

3

Add a dopamine boost

2m

Listen to a fun podcast or music while you work.

Stop fighting your brain.
