Condition
ADHD
Interest-based brain. Time-blind by default.
ADHD is a difference in attention regulation, working memory, and motivation. External scaffolding — timers, body doubles, captured next-actions — turns chaos into traction.
What it can feel like
- Started 12 tabs of life at once
- The thing took 5 minutes once you started
- Time disappeared again
Things worth remembering
- "Discipline isn't your bottleneck — interest and dopamine are."
- "A two-minute start counts as showing up."
- "Externalize everything. Your memory is a sieve and that's fine."
Two-minute start
"I'll just do two minutes."
"I can stop after that — really."
