ADHD Procrastination Why It Happens & How to Stop

Описание: #ADHDProcrastination #ADHDTaskParalysis #ADHDProductivity #ADHDWomen #StopProcrastinating
Why do ADHD brains procrastinate even when we care deeply about the task? If you’ve ever stared at a to-do list, feeling frozen, frustrated, or guilty for “putting it off,” this video will help you understand the real reasons behind ADHD procrastination—and how to break free from the cycle.
In this video, I’ll share the hidden drivers of procrastination for ADHD women: task paralysis, overwhelm, fear of failure, and the shame spiral that makes it even harder to start. You’ll learn ADHD-friendly strategies to get unstuck without relying on willpower alone. From nervous system regulation to small wins that build momentum, these tools are designed for real life—not perfection.
Procrastination doesn’t mean you’re lazy or unmotivated. It’s your brain’s way of protecting you from discomfort, and once you understand that, you can work with your brain instead of against it.
If you’ve been beating yourself up for not starting, you’re not alone. Watch until the end for practical steps to stop ADHD procrastination and start moving forward with more self-compassion, clarity, and ease.
