Ever feel like your To-Do List is working against you? It probably is.

Tonights Question: What's one "neurotypical" system you finally gave yourself permission to abandon? (Planners? Bullet journals? Waking up at 5 AM?) Let's celebrate it.

[Matt Morrison @MattAtHumanAF]

Stop blaming yourself for the Productivity Shame Cycle.
That loop of (Try System ➡️ Fail ➡️ Blame Self ➡️ Repeat) isn't your fault.
It's the sound of an incompatible system breaking against your brain.
The system is broken, not you.

ADHD Time Blindness is...

...agreeing to something 3 months away because it's "NOT-NOW."

...and now it's today, it's "NOW," and you're in a complete panic.

Your brain only has two time zones. You're not "bad at planning"; you're working with a different clock.

What's your go-to Dopamine Engineering "fuel" for cleaning?

A new podcast/album (Novelty)?
Racing a timer (Challenge/Urgency)?
Having someone else in the room (Social)?

[Matt Morrison @MattAtHumanAF]

So, that WARM Pile task "Fold Laundry"?

• Add Novelty (new podcast)
• Add Challenge (beat the timer)
• Add Social (call a friend while you do it)

You've just engineered the motivation your brain needs.

Why is it so hard to do "simple" boring tasks? Your brain is an Interest Engine that runs on dopamine . Boring tasks have zero fuel. You have to add the fuel yourself. This is Dopamine Engineering.

[Matt Morrison @MattAtHumanAF]

The 5 "Dopamine Fuel Types":

• Interest (find one tiny part that's cool)
• Urgency (set a 10-min timer)
• Novelty (do it in a new place)
• Challenge (gamify it)
• Social (body double with a friend)

Ever feel like your brain is a brilliant, unreliable employee? That’s the Unreliable CEO. Your executive function is a genius... when it decides to show up. Your job isn't to "force" the CEO to work. Your job is to build systems (like the Three-Pile System™) so the company runs even when the CEO is out to lunch.

What's your brain's worst time of day? When does the Brain Soup fog roll in for you almost every time?

#adhd #adultadhd #humanAF #humanAFApp

[Matt Morrison @MattAtHumanAF]

Traditional productivity is built on The Myth of the Identical Day - the lie that you should have the same output every single Tuesday. It's nonsense. Your energy is a rhythm, not a flat line. You have Productivity Machine days and Brain Soup days. Both are valid.

#adhd #adultadhd #humanAF #humanAFApp

[Matt Morrison @MattAtHumanAF]

You're not "lazy" for being unable to start the laundry. You're in Task Paralysis. Your brain isn't getting the dopamine it needs to begin. It's a chemistry problem, not a character flaw.

Here’s what nobody tells you about ADHD in the workplace: You’re not broken. The systems are.

I’ve sold millions in renovations, managed teams, built processes, all while my brain works differently.

The Book? “Human AF: ADHD Guide to Work, Life and Actually Thriving”

[Matt Morrison @MattAtHumanAF]

After 10 years off social media, I’m back with a story. Went from game company to youth pastor to pool renovations to… writing a book about ADHD.

Turns out all those career pivots weren’t random. They were my ADHD brain finding systems that actually work.
