What is it?

Task paralysis is when your brain gets overwhelmed by everything you need to do. It feels like your brain's starter motor is broken. You want to act, but you stay stuck instead.

Signs & Symptoms

Staring at a screen or a mess for hours
Feeling heavy or physically unable to move
Doing small, useless tasks to avoid the big one
Feeling a sense of dread about starting

Why does this happen?

Your brain sees a big task as a threat. It gets scared and shuts down to protect you. This is a stress response, not a choice.

The Action Plan

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

Name the feeling

1m

Say out loud that you are feeling stuck right now.

2

The 'One Thing' Rule

1m

Choose one tiny task that takes less than a minute.

3

Move your body

2m

Stand up and stretch to reset your nervous system.

4

The Five-Minute Dash

5m

Work on only that one task until the timer goes off.

Stop fighting your brain.
