Adhd Task Initiation (and finishing)


Why ADHD Makes Starting and Finishing Tasks So Hard


This past weekend, I started 15 different things and didnโ€™t finish a single one. No, seriously. 15.


I planned to do laundry but forgot about it until I was out of clean underwear.
I started meal prepping and only got as far as chopping vegetables before getting hungry and eating snacks instead.
I had every intention of answering emails, but I blinked and suddenly I was scrolling through TikTok.


Sound familiar? If you have ADHD, you probably know this struggle all too well. Starting tasks is HARD. Finishing them? Sometimes it feels impossible.

But hereโ€™s the thingโ€”this isnโ€™t about laziness or a lack of motivation. Itโ€™s about how our brains are wired. And once I understood that, everything started making a little more sense.



If you have ADHD, you might find that getting started on a task feels like trying to push a boulder uphill. Thatโ€™s because of something called task initiation paralysisโ€”basically, our brains struggle to fire up the motivation needed to begin something, especially if itโ€™s not interesting or urgent.

Your brain can have the thoughts of to-do, you can brain dump all the stuff you want to get accomplished, you can put it in your planner (that you don’t open for 3 weeks), you can get dressed and gather all the supplies and just be frozen.

The Science Behind ADHD and Task Struggles
Research shows that people with ADHD have differences in the brainโ€™s executive function system, which controls planning, organization, and follow-through. Specifically:

Dopamine levels: The ADHD brain has lower levels of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that helps with motivation and reward.
Time perception issues: Our brains struggle to recognize time properly, making deadlines feel abstract until theyโ€™re right in front of us.


Executive dysfunction: Planning, prioritizing, and following through on tasks are difficult because our brains struggle to regulate attention and impulse control.


Getting started on a non-preferred task is nearly impossible without extreme effort and incentives.

This explains why I could clean out my fridge at 3 AM but couldnโ€™t start a simple email reply during normal business hours.

The ADHD Cycle of Unfinished Projects
For many of us with ADHD, the pattern looks like this:

1. Excitement โ€“ A new task or project sparks interest. Weโ€™re all in.
2. Hyperfocus โ€“ We start strong, sometimes obsessing over details.
3. Distraction or burnout โ€“ Either something else grabs our attention, or we run out of energy.
4. Abandonment โ€“ We move on to something new, leaving the old task unfinished.


Then, the guilt kicks in. We wonder why we canโ€™t just finish what we start. We feel like failures. And the cycle continues.

But hereโ€™s the good news: There are ways to break this cycle.

unloading a dishwasher filled with dishes, utensils, and cookware. represents the challenge of ADHD task completion, as everyday chores can often be started but left unfinished due to distractions and executive dysfunction.


How to Actually Start (and Finish) Tasks with ADHD


While thereโ€™s no magic fix, there are strategies that can make a huge difference:

1. Break Tasks Into Smaller Steps
Instead of saying, โ€œI need to clean my entire apartment,โ€ I tell myself, โ€œI just need to clear off this one table.โ€ Once I do that, I move on to the next thing. Small wins add up. (Dubbed the one fork method)

2. Use Timers to Stay on Track
The Pomodoro Technique (working for 25 minutes, then taking a 5-minute break) has been a game-changer for me. It tricks my brain into focusing for short bursts rather than dreading an endless task.

3. Create External Accountability
Telling someone Iโ€™ll do something makes me more likely to follow through. Body doublingโ€”working alongside someone elseโ€”also helps.

4. Prioritize Urgency and Importance
I use a simple method: If itโ€™s both urgent and important, it gets done first. If itโ€™s important but not urgent, I schedule it. If itโ€™s neither, I ask myself why itโ€™s even on my list.

5. Use Rewards to Boost Motivation
ADHD brains are wired for interest-based motivation rather than routine-based motivation. So, I make tasks fun or rewarding. For example, I listen to music while doing chores or treat myself to coffee after completing something difficult.


ADHD makes starting and finishing tasks difficult, but itโ€™s not a personal failureโ€”itโ€™s how our brains work.


Task initiation paralysis is real and is caused by executive dysfunction and dopamine regulation issues.
We often abandon tasks because of distraction or burnout, not because we donโ€™t care.


Breaking tasks into smaller steps, using timers, and finding accountability can help.
Rewards and prioritization are crucial for ADHD-friendly productivity.


the struggle with ADHD task initiation and completion, as balancing responsibilities while managing distractions can be challenging. And when we have to much to balance, sometimes we short circuit and it topples


FAQs
Q. Is this just procrastination?
A. Not exactly. Procrastination involves delaying a task, while ADHD task paralysis means struggling to even begin despite wanting to. Being “lazy” also means you’re enjoying the delay of the task, not sitting there frozen in anxiety about how you’re not getting it done.

Q. Can ADHD treatment help with task completion?
A. Medication, therapy, and coaching can help improve executive function, making task management easier.

Q. Why do I only finish tasks when theyโ€™re last-minute?
A. ADHD brains often need urgency-driven motivation, meaning we kick into high gear when deadlines loom.

Q. How do I stop feeling guilty about unfinished tasks?
A. Recognizing that ADHD is neurologicalโ€”not a character flawโ€”can help reframe guilt.

Q. What if nothing works for me?
A. Everyoneโ€™s brain is different. Experiment with different strategies and seek professional guidance if needed.

Final Thoughts
If you struggle to start or finish tasks, youโ€™re not alone. ADHD makes it tough, but understanding why can help us work with our brains instead of against them. Try some of the strategies above, give yourself grace, and rememberโ€”progress is more important than perfection.

Reclaiming yourself

Empowering yourself during times of low self-esteem can be a hard process and feel like an uphill battle. Here are some strategies I use to foster back a positive self-image:

1. Practice Self-Compassion

Be Kind to Yourself: Treat yourself as you would a close friend. Acknowledge your feelings without judgment and remind yourself that itโ€™s okay to struggle.

Break Tasks Down: Focus on small, manageable goals to build a sense of accomplishment. Celebrate each success, no matter how minor.

Track Progress: Keep a journal of your achievements to remind yourself of your growth over time.


3. Challenge Negative Thoughts

Cognitive Restructuring: Identify negative thought patterns and consciously challenge them. Ask yourself if they are based on facts or assumptions.

Reframe: Shift your perspective by reframing negative thoughts into more positive or realistic ones.


4. Engage in Activities That Bring Joy

Hobbies: Spend time doing things you love, whether it’s painting, gardening, or reading. Engaging in enjoyable activities can boost your mood.

Physical Activity: Exercise releases endorphins, which can improve your mood and self-esteem. Find a form of movement that you enjoy.

7. Learn and Grow

Personal Development: Engage in workshops, courses, or reading materials that focus on self-improvement, confidence-building, or personal growth.

Embrace Mistakes: Recognize that everyone makes mistakes and that they are opportunities for growth rather than reflections of your worth.


8. Mindfulness and Meditation

Practice Mindfulness: Engage in mindfulness exercises to stay present and reduce anxiety about self-image. Mindfulness can help you observe thoughts without judgment.

Guided Meditations: Use guided meditations focused on self-acceptance and self-love to cultivate a more positive relationship with yourself.

ARIES IS A FIRE SIGN

Fire rules the function of internal combustion or digestionโˆ’the burning up or absorption of food. Fire also purifies the system by burning off toxins, viruses, bacteria and fungus. Fire signs easily fight disease. Their constitution naturally tends toward high temperatures.


The cell salt for the sign of Aries is potassium phosphate.

Aries Rules :  The head and face. The glands that Aries rules are the subrenals.


Health habits : The head is associated with thinking and perception, and natives of Aries tend to be sharp, shrewd thinkers who use common sense. Aries people are subject to headaches, including migraines, head congestion, and sinus conditions. Aries people are active, have excellent muscle coordination, and are noted for their energetic sexuality. Because the Aries person is usually busy, active, and on the go, they need a well-balanced diet to maintain good health and energy.

Eat :  Lack of potassium phosphate can cause depression. Foods rich in this mineral and therefore beneficial for Arians to include in their diet are: tomatoes, beans, brown rice, lentils, walnuts, olives, onions, lettuce, cauliflower, cucumber, spinach, broccoli, figs, bananas, dried uncooked apricots, pumpkin.

Don’t Eat :  Salt and liquor are two enemies that Aries people in particular should avoid. Too much salt affects bones and arteries, liquor overstimulates and reacts negatively on the kidneys. They should drink plenty of water, and get adequate rest and relaxation.

TAURUS IS AN EARTH SIGN

The earth element rules the skeletal and eliminatory systems. The earth element is essential for growth, reproduction and repair of tissue. Earth signs tend toward weight problems, tumor growth or glandular disorder. Overeating and a diet of heavy foods create excess earth, which is aggravated by lack of exercise and sedentary habits.

Don’t Eat : They should try to vary their diet with different vegetables, fruit, meat and fish, as Capricorns tend to get into a rut about food likes and dislikes, and often eat the same things every day. Eating chocolate and refined sugar is bad for Capricorn’s skin. They should go easy on the highly seasoned and spicy food you are fond of, as it causes intestinal upsets.

AQUARIUS IS AN AIR SIGN

The key to their good health is to establish moderate habits. With a minimum of care, a well-balanced diet, moderate exercise, rest they can feel younger.

Eat : Lack of iron in the system can lead to anemia, low blood pressure, inflammations, glandular problems, and heart irregularities. Foods that are rich in iron that they should include in their diet are liver, lean beef, lamb, egg yolks, oysters, kidneys, whole-grain cereals, barley, dried beans, beet , spinach, onions, lettuce, raisins, dates, apricots, peaches, grapes, apples, lemons, oranges.

Don’t Eat : They should cut down on table salt, for that makes them bloat. Coffee can overstimulate Pisces natives and should be cut down to a bare minimum. Pisceans are particularly susceptible to the effects of alcohol.

Parasite detox

If you’ve been considering doing a parasite/ heavy metals detox, I’ve created an Amazon list of helpful products below

https://amzn.to/43yoo0W

For specific products:

I suggest a binder like Zeolite in either tincture form or mouth spray

https://amzn.to/3PN1Xj3

Then the parasite cleanse herbs like black walnut, wormwood, papaya seed, pumpkin seed, garlic, echinecea

(I use the Para Detox which has all of these herbs together, which i find easier)

https://amzn.to/3xgtFy9

I’d also suggest a fulvic bath soak once a week in helping rid heavy metals

https://amzn.to/3J4scxL

And castor oil packs every so often at night

https://amzn.to/3PN2m53

Cold pressed castor oil

Please be mindful of how much detoxing to do at once as it can be very rough on your body, it’s better to go low and slow just like cooking

My Fav Kava Products

So I make larger batch kava (1 Gallon pitcher) it’ll last me several days before I would need to make a new one, you’ll need:

  • 1 Gal Pitcher (thicker plastic ones work better) – I got mine from walmart : )
  • Kava Strainer Bag (See below)
  • Kava Root Powder (See below)

I’ve tried almost every Amazon Kava product over the last 2 years, these are my favorite!

Both are from small businesses, both great quality, the Dua Na Bilo, I use everyday.

Dua Na Bilo Noble Kava – Best Everyday Kava, Best Quality at lower price point

I got this strainer bag 2 years ago, it’s my favorite one that I’ve tried, it’s larger sized, has heavier duty closure landyard (which I really appreciate) I’ve used this one everyday since, and it’s still in amazing shape after daily use! Highly Recommend!

Fixing complex issues in a country as diverse as the United States requires a multifaceted approach involving collaboration, understanding, and sustained effort. While I can’t provide a comprehensive solution, here are some key areas to address:

1. **Political Reform:** Encourage bipartisanship, campaign finance reform, and the elimination of gerrymandering to improve the functioning of the political system.

2. **Education:** Invest in education at all levels, ensure equal access, and promote STEM and vocational training.

3. **Healthcare:** Address the healthcare system’s accessibility and cost issues, aiming for universal coverage and cost control.

4. **Criminal Justice Reform:** Focus on rehabilitation, reduce mass incarceration, and address systemic biases in the criminal justice system.

5. **Climate Change:** Implement policies to combat climate change and transition to clean energy sources.

6. **Economic Equality:** Work to reduce income inequality through progressive taxation, minimum wage adjustments, and support for small businesses.

7. **Infrastructure:** Invest in infrastructure to improve transportation, broadband access, and overall connectivity.

8. **Social Services:** Strengthen social safety nets, including mental health services and support for vulnerable populations.

9. **Immigration Reform:** Address immigration issues through comprehensive reform efforts.

10. **Civic Engagement:** Promote informed and active citizenship through education and access to voting.

11. **Foreign Policy:** Promote diplomacy and cooperation on the global stage.

12. **Technology and Cybersecurity:** Enhance cybersecurity and regulate technology companies to protect privacy and prevent misinformation.

It’s important to remember that solutions to these issues may vary based on changing circumstances, public opinion, and the political climate. A combination of government action, private sector initiatives, and civil society involvement is necessary to address these challenges.
