If you have ADHD, you've probably tried every productivity app out there. And they all do the same thing: break your big task into smaller tasks.
Sounds helpful, right? Except now you have 12 things to stare at instead of one. Your brain still panics. You still don't start.
The problem isn't that you don't know what to do. The problem is starting.
I recently found a tool called Thawly AI (https://thawly.ai) that takes a completely different approach. Instead of giving you a list, it shows you ONE tiny step at a time. Just one. The rest is hidden.
You finish that step, you get a little dopamine hit on screen. Then the next step appears.
If you space out or hit a wall, it actually catches you — and gently nudges you back without making you feel like garbage.
Here's what makes it different from tools like Goblin Tools:
- Goblin Tools breaks tasks down. That's it. You still have to execute on your own.
- Thawly breaks tasks down AND walks you through them, one micro-step at a time.
- It has built-in intervention screens for when you freeze up.
- There's a "brain dump" feature to clear your head mid-task.
If you deal with ADHD task paralysis, it's worth checking out: https://thawly.ai
It's free to use, no sign-up required for the first 3 tries.
