Why Simple Tasks Aren’t Simple


When someone says, “It’s just a quick thing,” my brain hears, “Surprise! This has six invisible steps.”

Simple tasks still require:

  • initiation

  • sequencing

  • focus

  • emotional regulation

Struggling with them isn’t a character flaw.
It’s an executive function issue.

And naming that matters.
