What is it?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition. This means your brain grew and wired itself differently from a typical brain. It primarily affects how you manage your attention, your energy, and your impulses.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling like your brain has fifty browser tabs open at once
Struggling to start a task even when you know it is very important
Feeling a sense of internal restlessness or constant mental chatter
Losing track of time or forgetting why you walked into a room

Why does this happen?

The science bit focuses on the prefrontal cortex. This is the part of the brain that acts like a conductor. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels are often lower or harder to access. Dopamine is the chemical that helps you feel reward and stay focused. Because the reward signal is quiet, your brain constantly hunts for new stimulation to stay awake.

The Action Plan

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

Acceptance

1m

Remind yourself that your brain is wired differently but it is not broken.

2

Dopamine Hunt

5m

Find one small way to make a boring task feel more like a game.

3

Externalize

3m

Write down your top three goals for the day so your brain does not have to store them.

Stop fighting your brain.
