Why do we put things off — even when we know they would help us?

In this episode of Tea with a Taurus, a simple dinner conversation turns into a deeper reflection on procrastination, task paralysis, and what’s really happening beneath the surface — especially for those of us with ADHD.

We talk about why “just do it” isn’t always helpful, how overwhelm and perfectionism can freeze us in place, and why avoiding tasks doesn’t mean we’re lazy or unmotivated. Instead, it often points to nervous system overload, fear, or a need for gentler support.

This episode offers compassionate insight into why task paralysis happens and shares soft, realistic ways to move through it — without shame, pressure, or forcing productivity.

We’ll close with a short grounding moment and a reminder that progress doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.

Pour yourself a cup of tea, take a breath, and remember: steady is still strong.

I took a step back… and now I’m stepping back in—more gently.

This new season of Tea with a Taurus is slower, cozier, and more honest. This week’s episode is about a health wake-up call, ADHD, and learning how to make small changes without burning out.

No perfection. Just real life and warm tea.

Life gets busy. Responsibilities pile up. But our children shouldn’t have to compete with our to-do lists. Today’s reflection is about reclaiming moments of connection before they slip through our fingers.
