Focus Fatigue: Why You Burn Out Faster Than Other People
Check it out here: https://youtu.be/Q62erOYR4Cw
Focus fatigue occurs when the brain becomes depleted from sustained cognitive effort, decision-making, and attention regulation.
For individuals with ADHD, this process can happen more quickly due to increased demands on executive functioning systems.
Decision Fatigue
Frequent decision-making drains cognitive resources. ADHD brains often require more conscious decision-making, leading to faster depletion.
Context Switching
Switching between tasks requires the brain to repeatedly disengage and re-engage, increasing mental load and fatigue.
Dopamine and Anticipation
Low dopamine levels can create resistance before starting tasks, requiring additional effort to initiate and sustain attention.
Supporting Cognitive Energy
Reducing decision load, minimizing task switching, and incorporating recovery periods can help maintain focus and prevent burnout.
