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

Staring at a task for hours without being able to start.
A heavy, 'cement' feeling in your limbs when you try to move.
Feeling overwhelmed by too many small steps at once.
Losing track of time while feeling guilty about not working.

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

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

Acknowledge the freeze

1m

Say out loud that you are experiencing a brain glitch.

2

Change your scene

2m

Stand up and walk to a different room or just step outside.

3

Pick a micro-task

2m

Touch one object related to the task without trying to finish it.

Stop fighting your brain.
