It worked for nine days.
Then I missed one.

One ADHD tip a week — small enough that missing a day can't end it. Everyone gets the same tip in the same week, so you're never doing it alone.

Free. One email a week. This week's tip is on the next page — you don't wait for an email to start.

The actual problem

You don't need more tips. You've read hundreds.

You know about the timers and the water bottle and the phone in the other room. Information was never what was missing. This is what happens instead:

  1. You find a system and it genuinely works
  2. Nine good days. You start to think this might be the one
  3. You miss a day. Life, or a migraine, or nothing in particular
  4. The next day feels like starting from behind, so you skip it too
  5. You quietly stop, and decide you'll restart properly on Monday
  6. Monday becomes January. Then it's a new system, from zero, again

The tips were never the problem. Starting over was.

The rule

One tip a week. That's the whole thing.

Not five. Not a morning routine with seven parts. One, for seven days, and it's usually something like put the bag in front of the door.

Small is not a compromise here — it's the mechanism. A habit that takes two minutes survives a bad week. A habit that takes forty-five doesn't, and when it dies it takes your confidence with it.

And there's no streak to break. Miss a week and nothing resets, because there's nothing to reset. The next tip arrives on Sunday exactly as if you'd been perfect.

Lower the bar until it's embarrassing, then go lower

Take the thing you're avoiding and shrink it until you'd feel slightly stupid saying it out loud. Wash one fork. Open the document. Put one sock in the basket.

That embarrassment is the signal you've got it right. Your brain prices a job before it lets you start — "clean the kitchen" comes back expensive and the block fires. "Wash one fork" comes back as nothing, so the block never gets a chance.

This week: one absurdly small version of one thing you've been avoiding. That's it.

Washed one fork and stopped? Genuinely done — nothing more is owed. That's the tip working, not the tip half-working.

Why this one works when the others didn't

Three things, none of them discipline

Paced

One a week, in order of effect. You are never asked to hold more than one new thing — which is the only reason any of it is still running in March.

Graded

280 tips, each labelled by how good the evidence actually is. When something is weak, it says so. No list does this, and it's why you can trust the strong ones.

Together

Everyone gets the same tip in the same week. Working alongside other people is one of the few things that reliably helps ADHD — and a PDF can't do it.

Being straight with you

What this isn't

There's no app to download, no streak to protect, nothing to complete, and no point at which you've finished. It's a toolbox. Some of the tools won't suit you and you should skip those.
