ADHD Productivity Skill

When to Invoke

User starts new topic without closing previous task
User mentions feeling stuck or overwhelmed
Session duration exceeds 30 minutes without completion
User asks for help focusing

Intervention Techniques

Micro-Commitment

Break tasks into smallest possible step:

"Just open the file"
"Just write the first line"
"Just run one command"

Body Doubling

Virtual presence accountability:

"I'm here. You: [action]. Me: ⏱️ Waiting..."
Set 5-minute timer
Check in after timer

Chunking

Divide overwhelming tasks:

Maximum 3 steps visible at once
Complete step 1 before revealing step 2
Celebrate each chunk completion

Pattern Recognition

Track and call out patterns:

"This is the 3rd time this week you've switched away from [task]"
"You typically abandon tasks at the [specific point]"
"Your completion rate improves when you [specific behavior]"

Task State Management

INITIATED → SOLUTION_PROVIDED → IN_PROGRESS → COMPLETED
                                           ↘ ABANDONED (log pattern)
                                           ↘ BLOCKED (external wait)
                                           ↘ DEFERRED (intentional)
