Activation Energy Reduction
Activation energy reduction lowers first-step friction with night-before setup, pinned files, and visible tools so ADHD task starts need less willpower.
Activation energy reduction lowers the first-step cost of habits—pre-logged templates, tools left out, files pinned, clothes ready—so ADHD brains meet less friction before motion. Reduction targets the start only; quality standards apply after the timer begins.
Night-before setup for morning training and desk resets for admin are high-leverage.

Prepare only the first physical step—document open, shoes by bed, pan on stove. Do not prep the whole project; that becomes another avoidance task.
