ADHD affects executive function, not effort or intelligence.
Most productivity systems assume you can reliably start tasks, estimate time accurately, and maintain consistent motivation. If you have ADHD, you already know how that goes.
PoweredADHD provides free courses and practical tools designed around how ADHD brains actually function. These are systems that work on the days when willpower doesn't.
Educational content grounded in ADHD research. No streaks, no guilt, no signup required.

Module 1: The ADHD Entrepreneur Brain
Understand why traditional business advice fails you, and what actually works.
Key insight: Your inconsistency isn't a character flaw. It's how ADHD brains work.
If you're here, you might recognize some of this:
Some days you're incredibly productive. Other days you can barely start. This inconsistency is a hallmark of ADHD executive function, not a character flaw.
Planners, apps, routines: they worked for a week, maybe two, then stopped. The tools weren't the problem. They were designed for brains that work differently than yours.
You know what you should do. You can see the task sitting there. The gap between knowing and doing is called task initiation deficit, and it's neurological.
Productivity advice that assumes you can 'just focus' has never worked for you. That's because focus, for ADHD brains, isn't a choice. It's a resource that fluctuates.
These patterns have names. They have causes. And they respond to specific strategies.
The right systems externalize what your executive function struggles to manage internally.

Why This Works for ADHD Brains
Standard productivity assumes reliable initiation and time awareness. ADHD brains need systems designed around variable executive function.
Executive function governs task initiation, time perception, and priority management. ADHD affects all three. Effective systems compensate by making these processes external and visible. That way, your environment does the regulating your neurology can't.
Completion-Sized Lessons
Each lesson is 10-20 minutes, short enough to finish before your attention shifts. Long content fails ADHD brains because it requires sustained focus we can't reliably access.
Scannable Structure
Clear headings, bullet points, and visual anchors. Your working memory gets support instead of strain when information is organized externally.
External Over Internal
These systems work by externalizing executive function (timers, visual cues, decision frameworks) so you're not relying on unreliable internal regulation.
Fair Questions
You've probably been burned before. Here's what makes this different.
The system assumes you won't. Lessons are 10-20 minutes, progress saves automatically, and there are no streaks to break. Take a month off and pick up exactly where you stopped. Inconsistency is the design assumption, not a failure mode.
Most productivity systems assume consistent motivation, accurate time estimation, and reliable task initiation. PoweredADHD assumes the opposite: that your motivation will vary, your time sense will drift, and starting will sometimes feel impossible. The systems are built for that reality.
Two complete courses (~4.5 hours), 8 practical tools, and 15 topic deep-dives. No signup required for any of it. Premium adds AI-powered tools and additional courses, but the free content is genuinely complete. It's not a teaser.
A formal diagnosis isn't required. If you recognize the patterns (inconsistent productivity, task initiation struggles, the gap between knowing and doing), these strategies address those specific challenges regardless of diagnostic status.
