Why ADHDers Can't Get Started (Even When We REALLY Want To)
Manage episode 477671747 series 3529623
Ever wake up determined to tackle something important like my house declutter project, only to find yourself scrolling Instagram at 7PM with nothing done? In this video, I explain what's happening when your ADHD brain WANTS to do something but physically can't start.
I break down:
- Why having interest and emotional connection to outcomes ISN'T ENOUGH with ADHD
- What's happening when your brain freezes looking at big projects
- My personal "head, heart, hands" check-in method to identify what's blocking you
- How micro-tasks create the dopamine kickstart needed for momentum
- Why body doubling creates "magic" for ADHDers
Remember: You're not lazy or broken! Your task avoidance isn't a character flaw—it's literally your prefrontal cortex lacking energy. Learn how to work WITH your ADHD brain instead of fighting it.
