Restart-Proof — ADHD Task & Time System
A plain-Markdown task and time system for ADHD adults, built around the assumption that you will stop using it — and a five-minute protocol that brings you back from a gap of any length.
Description
Most planners assume you can hold a plan in your head, feel how much time is left, and stay interested in one system for a year. This one assumes none of that. It gives you a one-page daily surface, a four-minute brain dump, a guess-vs-actual log that finds your own estimating ratio instead of printing a made-up multiplier, a ladder for tasks you cannot start, and a two-alarm rule for anything another person is counting on. The core file is a timed five-minute restart protocol whose first instruction is to skip the audit — it works identically after four days or eight months, and there is no streak anywhere in the system to break.
