Struggling with task initiation and wondering why neurotypical people can "just start" boring tasks while your ADHD brain can't? This episode breaks down the science of dopamine dysregulation and why ADHD brains don't get dopamine from completing tasks like neurotypical brains do.

In this episode, you'll learn:• Why ADHD brains struggle with task activation (it's neuroscience, not laziness)• How neurotypical vs ADHD dopamine systems work differently• The real reason you procrastinate until panic sets in• What task initiation paralysis actually is and why "just start" doesn't work for ADHD• Practical dopamine stacking strategies to actually get boring tasks done• How to work WITH your ADHD brain instead of fighting itIf you've ever felt broken because you can't fold laundry without a podcast, can't start emails without a timer, or need a panic deadline to activate, this episode will make everything make sense.

Plus: Learn about the FLOW-First Thinking framework and how to link boring tasks with dopamine-providing activities so you can finally stop feeling guilty about needing "extra" support to do "simple" things.

Perfect for ADHD entrepreneurs, ADHD professionals, neurodivergent business owners, and anyone tired of productivity advice built for neurotypical brains.
