I’m diving into why everyday tasks—like responding to texts or emptying the dishwasher—can feel way harder than you think they “should.” (The should is always in quotes!) If you’ve ever looked at your to-do list and felt totally stuck on something simple, you’re not alone. I break down how our brains tend to complicate things and why “simple” doesn’t always mean “easy,” especially when executive functioning is involved.
