The 20-minute starting path

Start here — architecture for ADHD work

Most productivity advice was written for brains with reliable executive function. This path was written around yours — four steps, in order, each one ending in a tool instead of a lecture.

Short on patience? Take the 90-second Work Fit Diagnostic first; it maps your friction and picks your system.

Step 1

Map your friction

Vague struggle can't be solved on purpose. The 90-second diagnostic scores five executive-function axes and shows which one costs you most at work.

Step 2

Make starting small enough to begin

Task initiation is the hardest executive function. Commit to five minutes, not hours; momentum usually carries you. Let a visible timer do the remembering.

Step 3

Build your external brain

Memory, time, and prioritization don't need to live in your head. One brain-dump file, one "next-up" item, one friction log per day.

Step 4

Ask for what your brain needs at work

Accommodations are a negotiation over essential job functions, not a confession. The builder drafts an ADA-mapped request letter from your friction list.
