AI is useful for ADHD-minded work when you treat it like a second executive function — planning aid, clarifier, summarizer — not like an oracle that replaces judgment. The win is reduced cognitive load. The failure mode is confident nonsense you ship because it sounded finished.
Good jobs for the model: break a vague goal into next actions; turn a messy brain dump into an outline; summarize a long thread; draft a first ugly version; ask “what am I missing?”; translate constraints into a realistic plan for this week, not a fantasy quarter.
Bad jobs: final decisions you’re accountable for; medical or legal advice; anything you haven’t verified; “optimize my life” prompts that invent metrics and routines you won’t keep.
A simple loop that works: paste context → ask for structure → edit ruthlessly → decide yourself → store the result in your external brain. The model compresses. You choose.
Prompt like a sharp coworker, not a genie. Include constraints (“dad week, 3x 45-min blocks”), the definition of done, and what “good enough” means. Ask for options with tradeoffs instead of one true path.
Keep privacy boring: don’t paste secrets you wouldn’t put in a work Slack. Prefer local notes for sensitive family or employer details.
This site’s stance is leverage, not outsourcing your life. Use AI to lower the cost of starting and clarifying. Keep the judgment — and the calendar honesty — human.
