What is it?

Task paralysis is when you have so much to do that your brain shuts down. It is like a computer freezing because it has too many tabs open at once.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling 'frozen' on the couch while your to-do list grows
Doing nothing while worrying about everything you should be doing
Scrolling your phone to escape the bad feelings of being stuck

Why does this happen?

Your brain sees a big list and thinks it is a scary threat. It triggers a 'freeze' response to keep you safe from stress. Your brain's starter motor is simply jammed.

The Action Plan

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

The Physical Touch

1m

Don't start the chore yet. Just go and touch one item you need to use.

2

The Tiny Win

1m

Do one task that takes less than 60 seconds, like throwing away one piece of trash.

3

The 5-Minute Dash

5m

Set a timer and do as much as you can until it beeps, then stop.

Stop fighting your brain.
