Executive Dysfunction: How to Get Out and Reclaim Your Day
You want to move, but you feel stuck. It is like there is a glass wall between you and the task you need to do. This is not a lack of willpower. It is a biological hurdle that many brilliant people face every single day.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a breakdown in the brain's management system. It affects your ability to plan, focus, and start tasks. When this system glitches, even simple chores can feel like climbing a mountain without gear.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your Prefrontal Cortex is the CEO of your brain. In an ADHD brain, this CEO lacks enough dopamine to send clear signals. When a task feels too big, your Amygdala senses danger. This triggers a 'freeze' response, making your body stay still to stay safe.
The Action Plan
Acknowledge the freeze
Say out loud that you are experiencing a brain glitch.
Change your scene
Stand up and walk to a different room or just step outside.
Pick a micro-task
Touch one object related to the task without trying to finish it.
Stop fighting your brain.
