What is executive dysfunction and do you have it? #executivedysfuntion

What is executive dysfunction? Executive function is a set of mental skills your brain uses to plan, start, and finish tasks. When it's impaired, you can want to do something, know how to do it, and still feel unable to begin. This often gets labeled as laziness, when what's really going on is a neurological gap between intention and action. Common with ADHD, autism, depression, and even after trauma. Because this is a matter of brain wiring, willpower alone is rarely the solution. Next time you're stuck starting a task, try the 2-minute rule. Do any version of it for 2 minutes, then decide.
