STUCK MOMENT · ADHD-LED ANSWER · 4 SECONDS

I lost the thread.

Paste your scattered tabs, chats, or notes. I'll reconstruct the original goal + give you one way back in.

Why this happens

Going down a rabbit hole isn't a willpower failure — it's how the ADHD brain processes interesting problems. The cost is the **re-entry**: when you eventually surface, you've forgotten what you were originally doing. Most productivity advice tells you to prevent the rabbit hole. That's not realistic. What works: a fast way back. Look at the trail, name the original goal, pick the smallest re-entry move. Five minutes max.

The example we'll start with

Open tabs: Stripe pricing docs, Stripe webhook security blog post, Reddit r/SaaS thread about Stripe vs Lemonsqueezy, my email inbox, MDN docs about HMAC. ChatGPT prompts: how to verify stripe webhook signatures node. I was supposed to be writing a blog post about ADHD productivity.
