1. Recurring keywords / key ideas

  • Not another productivity app
  • Context switching burden
  • Cognitive tax of multi-project days
  • MVP for personal daily use
  • ADHD reward processing
  • Initiation difficulty
  • Cue-action-reward proximity
  • Re-entry friction
  • Narrow testable product direction
  • Working product thesis

2. Core / novel / atypical ideas

  • Center of gravity: switching itself is the friction, not task incompleteness alone.
  • Evaluate builds by whether next-project re-entry feels almost frictionless.
  • Explicitly reject broad-spectrum planner scope creep.

3. Context and flow

Clarifying conversation after Nitish shared ADHD context files. Sets the lens for FlowGlass v2 features. Same day as visual organiser embeds and declutter/systems reading.

4. Publishing angles

  • Mode: Experiential series
  • Why: Clear product thesis from lived ADHD constraints.
  • Angles:
    • Build for re-entry, not planning
    • Why ADHD breaks standard task apps
    • Personal MVP as research method

5. Miscellaneous

Companion to Context-Switching Friction. Assets path (not daily-logs).
