Understanding & Aligning Your ADHD Brain to be More Productive

Real strategies that will help you & your brain collaborate to get things done.

Trying harder won’t work for your ADHD brain.

When the only plan is willpower, your productivity ends up living on a rotating schedule of panic, shame, and last-minute heroics.

If you have ever had to do a simple task that should take five minutes to complete, yet ruins your whole day... you are in the right place.
This costs you more than you realize.
  • Missed deadlines, missed details, missed opportunities.

  • A calendar full of good intentions and surprise consequences.

  • The ADHD Tax is paid in time, money, energy, and self-trust.

  • The creeping belief that you are unreliable, even when you care a lot.

These aren't character flaws. They are predictable outcomes of using the wrong system. You do not need more effort. You need a better operating system.

You can be Productive!

  • A clear explanation of why traditional productivity systems keep failing you

  • Practical strategies that work with interest, urgency, novelty, and reward

  • Tools to reduce overwhelm and lower the friction of starting

  • Ways to recover faster when you fall off track, without spiraling

  • A companion workbook that turns insight into action in short, doable bursts

Trying Harder Won’t Work helps you understand your ADHD brain and work with it to have focus, motivation, and follow-through.

He knows what it is like to care deeply, try hard, and still watch your brain hit the brakes for no obvious reason.
