What is it and why does the body do it? It seems like the mind is telling the person to do something but one cannot get themselves to actually do it.

It’s called ‘executive disfunction’ or ‘task paralysis’. For someone with ADHD (me, for example), it’s often the case that a relatively simple task will appear overwhelming.
We have a hard time seeing ‘the end’ of a task, so we put it off, paradoxically making it worse for the ‘not doing’.
And, of course, sometimes it’s just that it’s *boring*. One *big* aspect of ADHD is the intense dislike of tedium. We want to do *fun* things, and spending three hours sorting piles of discarded paperwork is *not* fun.
