ADHD Paralysis

Shift from overwhelm to action with the right support

ADHD paralysis happens when your brain feels overloaded and “freezes.” Instead of moving forward, you may feel stuck, unable to start, or bouncing between options. It’s not laziness — it’s your nervous system overwhelmed by stress and choices.

A helpful tool is the Eisenhower Matrix, a simple 2x2 grid that sorts tasks by urgency and importance. This takes the guesswork out of “where to start” and makes it easier to focus on what matters most, helping you build momentum step by step.

How Monotropic are you?

Take The Quiz

Monotropism is a way of describing how many autistic minds naturally focus attention. Rather than spreading attention broadly, a monotropic brain tends to dive deeply into one or a few areas of interest at a time. This focused way of thinking can lead to powerful creativity, insight, and flow. While it may come with challenges—like difficulty switching tasks or handling interruptions—it’s a valid and valuable way of experiencing and engaging with the world.

When your spoons run out, so does your ability to keep going, which can make even everyday life feel overwhelming. Want to see Spoon Theory explained with neurodivergent experiences in mind?

Time Blind

You’re Not Lazy — Time Just Works Differently

Time blindness is a term used to describe how some neurodivergent people naturally perceive time in a non-linear or inconsistent way. You might feel surprised at how much time has passed—or feel like time hasn’t moved at all. This isn’t a flaw, but a different way the brain tracks and experiences time. Recognizing time blindness can open the door to supportive strategies and greater self-understanding.
