How Common Is Executive Dysfunction and Why It Happens
You are not lazy. You are not broken. You are simply navigating a world not built for your specific brain type. It feels like an invisible wall is blocking you from starting even simple tasks.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a breakdown in the brain's self management system. It is like having a brilliant orchestra but no conductor to lead them. It makes planning, focusing, and starting tasks feel nearly impossible.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex acts as the CEO of your brain. In many people, this area has a steady supply of dopamine to keep things running. In ADHD brains, dopamine is often in short supply or moves too quickly. This causes the CEO to freeze up when faced with complex or boring tasks.
The Action Plan

Stop fighting the wall and admit the task feels hard right now.
