An ADHDier course · Getting Things Done
From Intention to Action
You don't have a motivation problem. You have a gap between knowing and starting — and gaps can be engineered.
What this course is
Not motivation.
Activation.
The list is written. The intention is real. You care — possibly more than anyone watching would believe.
And still, the thing sits there. Not because you're lazy, and not because you don't understand what needs doing. You understand it perfectly. That's the cruellest part.
This course treats the space between intention and action as a design problem, not a character flaw. Doorways can be made smaller. Activation can be borrowed. Urgency can be built before the crisis builds it for you.

- 01
The Gap Is Real
Knowing what to do and being able to start it run on different systems. You have plenty of the first. The second is where ADHD lives.
11 min · Listen first
02Make the Doorway Smaller
You don't start tasks. You start movements. The smaller and more physical the first step, the less ignition it needs.

03Stack the Activation
Interest, novelty, challenge and urgency are fuel. Boring tasks have none — so you bring your own.

Borrow the Urgency
The night-before deadline works because urgency is real fuel. You can manufacture it on purpose — without the 3am panic.

Starting Again Is the Skill
Everything stalls eventually. The people who get things done aren't the ones who never stop — they're the ones whose re-entry costs almost nothing.

Where this comes from
Barkley, Executive Functions
Frames ADHD as a disorder of performance — doing what you know — rather than of knowledge.
Faraone et al., 2021 — International Consensus Statement
Synthesises the evidence base, including the role of motivation and reward processing in ADHD.
Volkow et al., 2011 — Motivation deficit in ADHD
Documents differences in the brain's dopamine reward pathway, the system that converts intention into movement.
