What is it?

Task paralysis is when your brain gets overwhelmed by a to-do list. It is like a traffic jam in your head. Instead of picking a direction, your brain just stops.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling heavy or unable to move
Scrolling on your phone to avoid a task
Staring at a list without doing anything

Why does this happen?

Your brain's starter motor is acting up. It sees a big task and thinks it is a threat. To stay safe, your brain shuts down and refuses to start.

The Action Plan

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

Shrink the task

2m

Break the big job into tiny, silly steps.

2

Change your scene

1m

Move to a different room or a different chair.

3

The five-minute rule

5m

Commit to working for only five minutes.

Stop fighting your brain.
