What is it?

Task paralysis is when your brain feels too full to start. It is like a car with a broken starter motor. You have the fuel, but the engine won't turn over.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling stuck on the couch for hours
Staring at a screen but doing nothing
Feeling a heavy weight on your chest
Knowing what to do but being unable to start

Why does this happen?

Your brain sees a big task as a threat. It releases stress chemicals that make you freeze up. It is trying to protect you from feeling overwhelmed.

The Action Plan

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

Change your view

1m

Stand up and walk to a different room for one minute.

2

Lower the bar

2m

Ask what the 'messy' version of the task looks like.

3

The 5-second countdown

1m

Count down from five and move your body on zero.

Stop fighting your brain.
