Synopsis
Conventional productivity advice assumes a brain that responds to plans. Millions of brains respond to interest, urgency, novelty, and challenge instead.
Alex Smith rebuilds the fundamentals — capture, prioritisation, initiation, and recovery — around activation energy rather than willpower.
The result is a workflow that is forgiving by design: it expects the missed day, the abandoned list, and the 2 a.m. burst of brilliance, and keeps working anyway.
Key takeaways
- Lower the activation cost of starting instead of raising your discipline
- Use interest and urgency as fuel rather than fighting them
- Design recovery days into the system so collapse is not a reset
- Build a capture habit that survives inconsistent weeks
Who this book is for
- Readers with ADHD or executive-function differences
- Anyone who has tried five productivity systems and abandoned all five
- Managers supporting neurodivergent team members
