STUCK MOMENT · ADHD-LED ANSWER · 4 SECONDS

I keep procrastinating on the thing I care about.

Tell me what it is. I'll give you ONE 5-minute move that's small enough you actually do it — no "just start," no pep talk.

Why this happens

Procrastination on things you actually care about is the most ADHD flavor of avoidance — because the stakes are real, the imagined version of doing it well looms huge, and the executive-function cost of starting feels unbearable. Most productivity advice ("just block out 2 hours," "break it into milestones") doesn't work because the freeze is at the very first decision, not at the work itself. The way through: shrink the first move to something so small you can't reasonably refuse. Not "start the portfolio." Open the editor and type your name in the header.

The example we'll start with

I have a portfolio site I've been wanting to build for 3 months. I open the editor, get overwhelmed by the design choices, close it, scroll Twitter, feel guilty. The longer I wait the heavier it gets. I keep telling myself "this weekend" and then the weekend goes by.
