What's actually hard
- •Agonising over the perfect nuance for one sentence while five thousand words sit untouched.
- •Staring at a dense source document and feeling your brain lock up before opening your translation software.
- •Getting bogged down in client style guides and term bases before writing a single translated word.
How Spark fits into your day
- Run a two-minute starter to translate just the document titles and subheadings to build instant momentum.
- Use a low-friction sprint template to blast through a rough, unedited first draft of paragraph one.
- Set a quick focus block to extract five key terms into your glossary before tackling the main text.
Break the freeze at your desk
Spark helps translators bypass perfectionist freeze by breaking intimidating documents into low-friction, two-minute momentum builders. It works alongside your natural cognitive style to make starting easier than staying stuck. 2-minute first moves, on your phone, no planning required.
Study with ADHD by breaking the session into 10-minute sprints with one clear question per sprint. The freeze comes from 'learn all of this' — a goal too vague to start. One question, one sprint, one reward makes the material approachable.
Sending emails with ADHD stalls on wording, tone, and imagined follow-ups. The brain rehearses the whole conversation before writing a single line, which makes the task feel heavy. The fix is to use short templates and a two-minute rule: if it can be said in two sentences, send it now.
A repeatable ADHD focus block: setup, one named task, visible timer and a hard stop. Removes the decisions that eat the first twenty minutes.
