Executive Dysfunction What To Do to Break the Cycle
It feels like your brain is a car in neutral. You are pressing the gas, but the wheels are not turning. You want to move, yet you stay still. This is not a character flaw. It is a biological hurdle.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a glitch in the brain's management system. It affects your ability to plan, focus, and switch tasks. Think of it like a traffic jam in your mind. The signals to start a task are simply not getting through.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex acts as the boss of your brain. It uses a chemical called dopamine to help you take action. In ADHD brains, dopamine levels can be inconsistent. This makes it hard for the brain to see the reward of a task. Your brain might even see a simple chore as a threat, causing you to freeze up.
The Action Plan
Acknowledge the freeze
Tell yourself that your brain is currently stuck in a loop.
Change your physical state
Stand up, stretch, or drink cold water to reset your sensors.
Pick one micro-task
Choose one tiny thing like picking up a single sock.
Stop fighting your brain.
