I’ve been quiet here for a few weeks. Not because I disappeared but because I’ve been deep in builder mode.
I finished my last client projects for 2025. No new client work until Q2 2026. The only work I’ll be doing is maintenance for existing clients.
That gives me real runway this winter to build without the constant pressure of finding the next project. First time in 15 years I’ve had that kind of breathing room.
What I’m building
- The ADHD Life Dashboard is at 4,000+ lines of code. Research-backed features for task management, energy tracking, gamification, habit tracking – all designed for how ADHD brains actually work. Privacy-first, runs locally, no accounts needed.
- The ADHD Solopreneur Escape Plan guide is at 20,000 words across multiple chapters. It’s messy. It’s not done. But it’s progressing. This is the transition strategy I wish I’d had three years ago.
I worked in hyperfocus sprints for the last few weeks. When I’m in the zone coding or writing, engaging online feels like interruption, not connection. Then I need recovery time.
Implemented a new workflow: voice memos while walking, then transcribe to text. Game changer.
Resisting the urge to make things perfect before shipping is hard, though. My brain wants to add just one more chapter, one more feature but I know that’s scope creep. I keep reminding myself: ship version 1, improve iteratively with feedback.
Next up: fix some code issues and UI bugs. Test the dashboard with 10-15 people from Reddit. Finish Part 3 of the guide—”The Sprint System: Working with your brain, not against it.”
This is the real middle of the journey. Not glamorous. Just building. But I love it.
