What is it?

Executive dysfunction is a breakdown in the brain's management system. It affects the skills we use to get things done from start to finish. Think of it like a conductor who has lost their baton during a concert.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling frozen when you have too many choices
Losing track of what you are doing mid task
Struggling to start something even if it is fun
Forgetting instructions seconds after hearing them

Why does this happen?

The prefrontal cortex acts as the CEO of your brain. In people with ADHD, this area has lower levels of dopamine. This chemical helps you prioritize tasks and ignore distractions. When dopamine is low, the brain's start button does not click into place properly.

The Action Plan

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

Identify the wall

2m

Notice which of the executive dysfunction types is stopping you right now.

2

Pick one tiny win

1m

Choose one small action that takes less than one minute.

3

Add a reward

5m

Listen to your favorite song while you do the tiny action.

Stop fighting your brain.
