Understanding How ADHD Works in Your Brain

It feels like you are driving a race car with bicycle brakes. You know what you need to do, but your brain refuses to start. You are not lazy or broken. Your brain simply processes the world in a unique way.

What is it?

ADHD is a performance disorder rather than a knowledge disorder. It is a delay in the brain's executive management system. This affects how you regulate your attention, emotions, and actions.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling an invisible wall between you and a simple task
Losing track of time because your brain lives only in the now
Feeling overwhelmed by too many choices at once

Why does this happen?

Your prefrontal cortex acts as the boss of your brain. In an ADHD brain, this boss lacks enough dopamine to stay alert. Dopamine is a chemical that helps signals jump between brain cells. When dopamine is low, your brain struggles to find interest in anything that is not urgent or exciting.

The Action Plan

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

Acknowledge the friction

1m

Stop blaming yourself for the struggle and recognize it as a brain glitch.

2

Find the spark

2m

Identify one tiny way to make the task more interesting or urgent.

3

Start small

2m

Commit to doing the task for only two minutes to break the freeze.

Stop fighting your brain.
