It feels like you are glued to the couch. You want to get up and do the thing, but you just can't. Knowing how to cure task paralysis starts with being kind to yourself.

Free to use. No credit card required.

What is it?

Task paralysis is when you have a lot to do, but you can't pick one thing to start. Your brain feels like a frozen computer screen. You want to move, but the signal isn't getting to your legs.

Signs & Symptoms

Staring at a to-do list for an hour without moving

Scrolling on your phone to escape the stress of chores

Feeling a tight or heavy feeling in your chest when thinking about work

Why does this happen?

Your brain's starter motor is jammed. It sees a small job and thinks it is a huge mountain. This makes your 'fight or flight' alarm go off, so you freeze to stay safe.

The Action Plan

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

Name the monster

Say out loud exactly what task is making you feel stuck.

Make it tiny

Break the task down until it feels almost too easy.

The 5-second countdown

Count down from five and move your body on zero.

Stop fighting your brain.
