My Tasks Feel Like Mountains: A book about task paralysis and getting things done!

By Nell Harris

Have you ever felt like it would be easier to climb a mountain than complete a task? I definitely do

Everyone has their own way to get through tricky tasks, find what works for you

This story explores the alternative ways to get through a tricky or arduous task rather than basic reward and punishment approaches, particularly for those who have interest based nervous systems and/or task paralysis. Interest based nervous systems was coined by Dr. William Dodson and talks about that it it isn't interesting, there is no dopamine provided from the task, or the dopamine is not immediate then it is highly adverse to the brain to engage. Instead looking at changing approaches to tasks by implementing interest, novelty, urgency or challenge.
