What is it?

Task paralysis is when you feel frozen because you have too much to do. It is like your brain's starter motor is jammed. You want to start, but you just can't make your body move.

Signs & Symptoms

Staring at a screen or a mess for hours
Scrolling on your phone when you don't even want to
Feeling a heavy or tight feeling in your chest

Why does this happen?

Your brain sees a big task and thinks it is a scary tiger. It gets flooded with stress signals. To keep you safe, your brain hits the brakes and shuts everything down.

The Action Plan

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

The Three-Minute Rule

3m

Tell yourself you will only work for three minutes and then you can stop.

2

Change Your View

5m

Pick up your laptop or papers and move to a different chair.

3

The One-Item Pick Up

2m

Pick up just one single item and put it away to break the ice.

Stop fighting your brain.
