ISSUE #1 — EXTERNALIZE FIRST
September 2026 · archived here so the site isn’t an empty funnel.
Welcome. This list is for ADHD / twice-gifted dads (and adjacent builders) who want systems that survive a real week.
One system idea
Stop asking memory to hold commitments. One capture inbox + a ten-minute review beats another app migration. If it isn’t written down in a place you’ll reopen, it isn’t in the system.
One experiment
For seven days, capture every “don’t forget” impulse into the same place within ten seconds. No organizing mid-capture. Review once daily. Notice how often your brain tried to re-hire itself as the database.
One tool (honest)
If ignition is the problem, try a Focusmate session before you rebuild your task taxonomy. Body doubling is boring and effective. Affiliate disclosure applies on the Tools I Use page.
Lab: FIND WORDS stays fully playable. Brain Games live in the footer so the main nav stays systems-first.
