Executive Dysfunction Is Absolutely Wild | My Brain Runs on Spite

My brain is not a well-oiled machine. It's a rusty shopping trolley with one wonky wheel, careening down a hill, and the handle is covered in something sticky.On Tuesday I made a reasonable list. Three things. "Reply to email. Move laundry. Drink water." It's now Friday. I have done none of those things. I have, however, learned that octopuses have three hearts, that the longest recorded flight of a chicken is thirteen seconds, and that the man who invented the Pringles can is buried in one.This is executive dysfunction. It's not laziness. It's a neurological condition where your brain's project manager has quit, walked out, and left a Post-it note saying "good luck lol."In this episode, I'm breaking down:🧠 What executive dysfunction actually is (and why "just do it" is useless)📋 My greatest hits—the Tea Graveyard, the Laundry Standoff, the Bladder Rebellion🔬 The science bit (your prefrontal cortex is underactive, it's not your fault)🛒 The rusty shopping trolley metaphor (it makes sense, I promise)✅ What sometimes helps—body doubling, weaponised spite, and narrating your own life like a nature documentaryIt's the funniest, most chaotic episode I've ever recorded. If your brain also runs on Windows 95 and spite, this one's for you.Links:☕ Support the show on Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/jen1409m💎 Join the Inner Circle on Patreon: patreon.com/AnxiouslyEverAfter
