The Tool Spiral Trap: When Your ADHD Brain Sabotages Your Progress

The Tool Spiral Trap: When your ADHD brain offers 47 "better" options to avoid doing the vulnerable thing. My first Dragon Rider lesson about accepting the chaos.

The Tool Spiral Trap: When Your ADHD Brain Sabotages Your Progress

I tried to record a simple video about ADHD productivity. Instead, I spent 3 hours researching recording tools. Sound familiar?

This Is Your Brain on Tools

If you've ever spent 3 hours researching the "perfect" app instead of doing the actual thing, welcome. You're among friends.

In this video, I share:

  • Why I took 4 attempts to record an 11-minute video
  • The difference between guilt (useful) and shame (destructive)
  • Why "the dragon cannot be slayed" (and shouldn't be)
  • How I went from daily Ativan to functional chaos

The Dragon Rider Truth

Your brain offers you 47 "better" options to avoid the vulnerable thing you need to do. That's not productivity. That's anxiety in disguise.

We don't need more tools. We need to recognize the pattern, laugh at it, and move forward anyway.
