The Start Button

Twelve 90-second moves for the moment you know exactly what to do and can't make yourself do it.

"I would kill for a start button." Somebody with ADHD wrote that under a post about task paralysis. A stranger replied, "My kingdom for a start button." We went looking for one. It doesn't exist. So this is it.

Twelve cards. Each one's a single physical move that gets a stuck body going in ninety seconds or less. You don't pick a card, you pick a symptom: body won't move, task too big or too vague, blank page, been "about to" for an hour. The key tells you which card. You read it, you do the one thing, and the task you were avoiding is usually already underway.

WHAT YOU GET

• Twelve cards, one move each, with a "use when" line and why it works.
• The key, as its own card. Symptom on the left, card number on the right.
• Thirteen phone lock screens, because the card you need is the one you can see.
• "Read This Whenever", written for the day you find this in a drawer.

WHAT IT ISN'T

Not a routine. Not a habit tracker. Not a planner you'll abandon by the twelfth. Nothing to maintain and nothing to fall behind on.

WHERE THE MOVES COME FROM

Not from us. From what people with ADHD already report works, in threads and comment sections with thousands of votes behind them, checked against forty-one years of one guy using them. Every card names the mechanism in one sentence, so you know why it works and not just that it does.

WHO MADE IT

Matt Morrison, author of Built For Chaos. Not a doctor, not a coach. One person with ADHD who got tired of products that need you to already be functioning before they'll help.
