The Pyramid Method — A Field Guide for ADHD Brains
Your ADHD brain doesn't need a longer to-do list. It needs a pyramid.Hyperfocus can't be summoned. But it can be staged for.

That's the whole pyramid.- A capture system that survives ADHD weeks — single-field Brain Dump, no tagging, decay over backlog.- A hyperfocus staging chapter — how to set up rails so when a burst hits, you don't waste it deciding what to do.- A journal you're allowed to skip — three prompts, each optional. Empty days are data, not failure.- Light gamification, no guilt — streaks reset, but ranks hold. Designed to survive the gap.- A troubleshooting chapter for when you fall off — because you will, and that's the actual skill.## Inside the guide1. Foreword — Why this guide exists2.
