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.
