Task Paralysis Other Names and Why You Feel Stuck

Feeling stuck is not your fault. It feels like your body has a 'stop' sign that won't go away. You want to move, but your brain is standing still.

What is it?

Task paralysis is when your brain's starter motor breaks down. You know what you need to do, but you cannot find the 'on' switch to begin.

Signs & Symptoms

Staring at a screen for a long time

Feeling heavy or unable to move

Scrolling on your phone even when you are bored

Feeling a sense of dread about a simple list

Why does this happen?

Your brain sees a big list and thinks it is a threat. It shuts down your movement to protect you from stress. It is like a computer crashing because too many apps are open.

The Action Plan

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

Pick one tiny thing

Find the smallest part of the job, like just opening a laptop.

The five-minute rule

Tell yourself you will stop after five minutes no matter what.

Stop fighting your brain.
