Executive Dysfunction: How to Improve Your Brain's Flow
You know that feeling when you want to do something but your body just won't move? It is like an invisible wall stands between you and your goals. You are not lazy or broken. You are just hitting a common ADHD glitch.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a breakdown in the brain's management system. It makes it hard to start, plan, or finish tasks. It is like having a conductor who fell asleep during the orchestra performance.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
This happens in the prefrontal cortex. This part of your brain handles planning and focus. It relies on a chemical called dopamine to stay active. In ADHD brains, dopamine levels are often lower. Without enough dopamine, the brain struggles to turn on for boring tasks. Your brain is not refusing to work. It is simply waiting for the fuel it needs to start the engine.

Notice when you are stuck and label it as a brain glitch.

Stand up or wiggle your toes to break the physical freeze.
