Sometimes I sit down to work on something small, and I just can’t get started. It feels like my brain is stuck, even when the task isn’t hard. Could this be related to ADHD or executive dysfunction, and how can I fix it?

I went through the same struggle recently and found a blog on Attainify that really explained what’s happening. The post on adhd executive dysfunction helped me understand why starting tasks can feel impossible, even simple ones. It gave practical tips like breaking tasks into tiny steps, starting with the easiest action, and structuring my environment to reduce distractions. I tried a few of these strategies immediately, and I was surprised how much easier it became to begin tasks I usually avoided. Honestly, this guide from Attainify gave me actionable tools to work through task paralysis and regain focus.

Honestly, it’s probably just feeling overwhelmed. Breaking the task into tiny chunks or even just doing one small thing can help you get past the freeze.
