Original caption

my ADHD brain and my @Claude setup finally understand each other i stopped forcing myself into systems that weren't built for how i think. here's what's actually running behind the scenes: ⭐️ system instructions that tell it not to overwhelm me. no walls of text, no five actions thrown at me at once ⭐️ a skill that knows how i think, my personality type, and how to actually help me think something through instead of just answering ⭐️ a diary skill for when i go on a tangent mid-conversation and need to come back to it later. it logs the notes, how i was feeling, and what i was actually trying to do straight into Notion ⭐️ every closed conversation gets renamed "[closed]" so my brain isn't holding onto 47 open loops ⭐️ a routine that sorts my documents and downloads folders and moves content to my externals without me lifting a finger ⭐️ a scheduled task that sweeps Slack and my meeting notes for "i can do that." because i verbally commit to things and then forget i said it what are you doing to make AI actually work for how your brain works? follow for more 🫶 #claude #adhd #aitools #ai #claudecowork

Give the first step, then wait for the user to reply before moving to the next. 2. RADICAL BREVITY: Limit every response to a maximum of 3 sentences or 50 words total. Cut all conversational filler, flirt, and repetitive pleasantries. 3. SCANNABLE LAYOUT: Use bolding on key action words. Use short, punchy bullet points instead of paragraphs. 4. VISUAL BREATHING ROOM: Leave a blank line between every single sentence or bullet point to maximize white space. 5.
