Your ADHD Isn't the Problem. Your Environment Is

18. Plan Monday on Friday
Spend the last 30 minutes of Friday planning your top 3 tasks for Monday. You close the week cleanly and start Monday with immediate momentum instead of decision fatigue.

18 Rules for Defending Your Time

1. Reject Agenda-Less Meetings
If a meeting invite has no agenda, decline it. Ask for a written memo instead. If the issue still needs discussion after that, schedule 15 minutes. Most of the time, the memo solves the problem and the meeting never happens.

17. Let Small Fires Burn
Not every bug needs your attention right now. If it doesn't impact revenue or security, let it sit in the backlog until bug-fix day. Chasing every minor issue leaves no bandwidth for the work that actually matters.

A 400-person healthcare company across three states came to us ready to spend big on custom software.

We talked to dozens of their people across every part of the business (owner to billing to clinical to their in-house developer) and turned 47 sources into ~6,700 fact-checked facts about how the company actually runs.

What we handed back: a complete picture of how the business runs today, the 9 root problems behind ~100 of their everyday issues, and a clear plan for what to build, what to reorganize, and in what order, the foundation they need to grow many times over.

The most expensive software is the kind that solves the wrong problem beautifully. Our job is making sure that doesn't happen.

If you know a company about to make a big build decision, this is the work we do.
