The Action Plan

Follow these micro-steps to get it done without the overwhelm.
1

Acknowledge the Freeze

1m

Stop fighting the feeling. Say out loud, 'I am currently experiencing task paralysis.' This reduces the shame response that keeps you stuck.

2

The 'Micro-Task' Extract

2m

Don't look at the project. Write down the literal next physical movement (e.g., 'Open the document'). Just that one thing.

3

Stimulate Your Senses

5m

Shock your system out of the freeze. Drink cold water, put on noise-canceling headphones, or change your physical location (move from desk to a couch).

4

The 5-Minute Momentum Dash

5m

Set a timer for 5 minutes. Promise yourself you can stop when it beeps. Usually, the hardest part is just the transition to starting.

5

Body Doubling

15m

If still stuck, sit near someone else who is working or join a virtual focus room. External presence helps regulate ADHD focus.
