Ep #160: When You Want to Start but Just...Can’t

Rina Meushaw - ADHD Coach for Working Moms Season 1 Episode 160

Ever feel like starting something is the hardest part? You’re not alone. In this episode, we dive into the struggle of task initiation—when you want to start but just…can’t. From perfectionism to executive functioning challenges, we unpack why the “procrastination gremlin” shows up and how to move past it.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why getting started feels impossible sometimes (and why it’s not your fault)
  • How perfectionism and executive functioning play into procrastination
  • Simple tools to break free from inertia: starting ridiculously small, body doubling, and breaking tasks down
  • Apps and resources that make overwhelming projects feel doable

You’ll walk away with strategies you can use right away to finally get moving—and feel the relief of making progress.
