What is it?

Procrastination is often a choice to avoid a bad feeling like boredom or fear. Executive dysfunction is a physical glitch in the brain's control center. It makes starting, planning, and finishing tasks feel almost impossible even when you want to do them.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling a physical no in your body when you try to start a task
Staring at a project for hours without being able to take the first step
Knowing exactly what to do but feeling unable to move your limbs
Getting lost in a loop of small tasks to avoid the one big important thing

Why does this happen?

The Prefrontal Cortex is your brain's command center. It handles planning and focus. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels are often lower. This makes it hard for the brain to send the start signal. It is like a car with a weak battery trying to turn over the engine.

The Action Plan

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

The Five Minute Rule

5m

Tell yourself you will only do the task for five minutes.

2

Externalize the Plan

2m

Write down the very first physical movement needed, like opening a laptop.

3

Change the Environment

3m

Move to a different chair or a different room to reset your brain.

Stop fighting your brain.
