What is it?

It is a breakdown in the brain's command center. Your mind knows what it needs to do. However, it cannot send the 'go' signal to your body. It is like trying to drive a car with a broken starter motor.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling locked in your chair while staring at a simple task
A sense of mental fog when trying to choose what to do first
Intense guilt for not being productive right now
Physical tension when you think about your to-do list

Why does this happen?

The prefrontal cortex manages your focus and actions. In ADHD brains, dopamine levels are often lower in this area. This makes your brain see a simple task as a huge threat. Your amygdala takes over and triggers a freeze response, just like meeting a bear in the woods.

The Action Plan

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

The Five Second Rule

1m

Count down from five and stand up on one.

2

Clear the Workspace

2m

Move only three items that are distracting you.

3

The Micro Task

2m

Commit to doing only two minutes of the work.

Stop fighting your brain.
