For those with ADHD, starting is usually easier than finishing. Unfinished projects—dirty dishes, clean laundry in piles, unwashed paint brushes—can litter the home. For this reason, when organizing for ADHD, we will always make the ease of putting something away take preference over ease of retrieval.
Organizing Solutions for People With ADHD, 2nd Edition

We experience the world around us and ourselves within it — with, through and *because of* our living bodies. Perhaps it is life, rather than information processing, that breathes fire into the equations of experience.
The Mythology of Conscious AI
Anil Seth
Tiago Forte, creator of *Building a Second Brain*, argues that a knowledge system isn’t about hoarding information; it’s about making it useful. His **C.O.D.E. framework** (Capture, Organize, Distill, Express) breaks this down:
• **Capture** the ideas and insights that spark your interest. A sticky note, a voice memo, or an app like Notion—whatever works.
• **Organize** them so you can find them later. Categories, tags, or even a simple “Projects” list will do.
• **Distill** your notes into their essential meaning. Ask: What’s the big takeaway here?
• **Express** your ideas by using them in your work. Share them in a blog, design a product, or test them out in conversation.
The magic lies in simplicity. You’re not saving *everything*—just what sparks curiosity or solves a problem. The goal? To create a system that serves your life, not one you’re constantly “fixing.”
