A meme that captures the classic struggle of executive dysfunction shows a man standing against a plain background, eyes closed, wearing headphones, and pressing his fingers to his temple as if trying to concentrate really hard. The top caption reads: “Me thinking about doing the thing I need to do” The bottom caption, styled like a documentary voiceover, delivers the punchline: ”<Narrator: He did not, in fact, do the thing>” The humor comes from the disconnect between intense mental effort and the complete lack of follow-through—an all-too-relatable moment for anyone who’s ever gotten stuck in the loop of overthinking and underdoing.
