01
Externalize
Voice or text. Dump the swirl out of working memory — assignments, duties, the bill, the prayer you keep postponing. Capture is offloading, not a new system to maintain.

Capture the swirl.
Walk the path.
Built for adults whose days collapse under too many open loops. Externalize the swirl so working memory doesn't have to hold it. A companion keeps one task in view. A sixty-second sensory protocol gets you across the start line — school, work, the rest of a life.
The Path
5
Look up from the screen. Name five things you can see.
A mug, a window, the color of a wall. Ordinary is perfect.

Loop is holding this. One object of attention.
Begin the pathHow it works
Time blindness is not laziness. Initiation is the bottleneck.
02
One object
A companion holds a single task in view. ADHD interest-based attention cannot track twelve priorities. The Now card is the only object until it is done.
03
Initiate
The Path is sixty seconds of sensory grounding (5–4–3–2–1). It is body doubling for the activation-energy gap — the expensive part of executive function.
04
Close the loop
Then the real step. Completion is the dopamine, not a streak. Sparks mark work you started. Missing a day changes nothing about your capacity.
The software
Home is a place, not a list. The companion is a cue.
Illustrated rooms. Six forest companions — hare, fox, hedgehog, raccoon, owl, deer — painted as thinking house-pets. The coral card is the only task that exists until it doesn't.

The Path — live in the product
Sixty seconds.
Then the real task.
5-4-3-2-1 with your senses. A little dopamine. Then Bio chapter 4 — not a random puzzle. Play it here, or open the phone shot on the right: that is the actual ritual.
