The 2-minute start
An entry ritual so small that activation energy finally stops winning.
SUMMARIZED COURSE

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
Four things you'll actually keep.
Not vibes — moves. Each one is something you can do differently the day after you finish.
Friction design
Make the right thing one tap away, and the wrong thing quietly annoying.
Body-doubling
Borrow another person's presence to anchor focus — in person or online.
The lost-day reset
Recover from a derailed day without the shame spiral that costs you three more.
HONEST FIT
Who this is for.
You, probably, if
- Adults with ADHD — diagnosed or strongly suspecting — tired of advice written for neurotypical brains
- People who buy a planner every January and abandon it by February
- Anyone who can hyperfocus for six hours but can't start a five-minute task
Maybe not, if
You want the long immersion — extended examples, a cohort, the instructor's tangents. If that's what you're after, the original course is the better buy, and we'll say so plainly.

The 2-minute start — shrinking the way in
Make the first step so small that activation energy stops being the thing that wins.
-
Friction design — let your environment decide for you
Engineer your surroundings so the right action is one tap away and the wrong one is a nuisance.
-
Body-doubling — focus is easier in company
Borrow another person's presence, in the room or on a call, to anchor attention that won't hold on its own.
-
Dopamine-friendly rewards — paying your brain on time
Build reward loops your brain actually registers, so motivation arrives when you need it.
-
Recovering after a lost day — the no-shame reset
A short way back after a derailed day, without the spiral that costs you three more.
-
Building your personal system — combining the tools
Assemble the pieces into one system that fits how you work, not how you wish you worked.
-
Keeping it running — maintenance for inconsistent motivation
Keep the system alive on the low-motivation days it was built to survive.
No per-lesson timers, because we don't have honest per-lesson times to give you — only the exact total above. If the outline doesn't earn your attention, the course hasn't either.
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET
Three things, all real.
8 audio modules
120 minutes total, stated exactly — the load-bearing 20%, start to finish, in the order they build.
A cheat sheet for every module
The frameworks, the steps, the exact moves — so you never scrub back through a lesson to find the thing you half-remember.

HOW THIS WAS DISTILLED
We kept the 20% that does the work.
No shortcuts in the research — only in your time.
Take the whole source.
We work through the full course or body of work — every part, not a summary of a summary.
Keep the load-bearing 20%.
The frameworks, the protocols, the moves you'll actually use. If it changes what you do on Monday, it stays.
Cut the rest, on purpose.
Repetition, padded anecdotes, filler. What you lose is the long soak; what you keep is the part that works.
THE QUIET PART
What we left out — on purpose.
No enrollment theater.
We don't print participant counts we can't verify. The curriculum on this page and the lesson you can play at the top are the whole pitch — judge the course, not the crowd.
Finishable by design.
This course ends — the runtime is stated exactly, up top. Finishing is a feature, and we cut whatever threatened it.
Thirty days, no interrogation.
If the course didn't earn its runtime, the refund means exactly what it says. One email, no forms.

FAQ
This course, answered plainly.
How long is this course, really?+
The runtime at the top comes from the files, not the marketing. For reference, the five courses run: Productivity for ADHD Minds, 120 minutes; The Stoic Operating System, 90; Neuroscience of Focus, 114; Persuasion & Influence, 108; Project Management, 144.
What exactly is a cheat sheet?+
A condensed reference for each module — the frameworks, the steps, the exact moves — so you never have to scrub back through a lesson to find the thing you half-remember. Every module has one.
Do I need a subscription?+
No. This course is a one-time purchase, yours to keep at its listed price. There is no membership and no recurring charge on the web store. An ongoing membership is coming to the Gist Library app, separately.
How is this different from taking the original course?+
Shorter — and, honestly, narrower. We keep the load-bearing 20%: the frameworks, the protocols, the moves you'll actually use. We cut repetition, padded anecdotes, and filler. What you lose is the long soak — extended examples, community, the instructor's tangents. If you want the long immersion, the original is the better buy, and we'll say that plainly.
What if it isn't for me?+
Then don't pay for it. Email us within 30 days for a full refund — no questions, no survey, no hard feelings.
