What is it?

It is a struggle with the brain's control center. This center handles planning and starting. When it lacks fuel, it stalls out. It is like having a fast car with a broken ignition.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling paralyzed even when you want to work
Losing track of time easily
Feeling overwhelmed by simple chores
Difficulty picking where to start

Why does this happen?

The prefrontal cortex is your brain's CEO. It needs dopamine to pass messages. In ADHD brains, this CEO lacks enough fuel. Your amygdala may also sense stress and trigger a freeze response. This makes a simple task feel like a physical threat.

The Action Plan

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

Pick one tiny micro-step

1m

Choose a task so small it feels silly, like just standing up.

2

Find a quick dopamine win

3m

Drink some cold water or listen to one favorite song.

3

Set a five minute timer

5m

Tell yourself you can stop as soon as the bell rings.

Stop fighting your brain.
