What is it?
ADHD task paralysis is a mental freeze. It happens when your brain gets overwhelmed by too much information or too many choices. You want to start, but your internal engine won't turn over.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The science bit involves your prefrontal cortex. This part of the brain is like a conductor. In an ADHD brain, the conductor lacks enough dopamine to signal a start. Your amygdala sees a big task and feels a sense of danger. It triggers a freeze response, just like you would if you saw a bear.
The Action Plan
Wiggle your toes
Small physical movements help break the freeze state in your body.
Pick one tiny micro-task
Do not think about the whole job. Just pick one small item to move.
Give yourself a win
Celebrate that you moved at all. This gives your brain a tiny hit of dopamine.
