## POST BODY:

For years I had the same pattern: massive creative energy to START a manga, then total stall the moment I hit "okay but step 2 is learn this software, which requires first doing this other thing..."

It wasn't lack of interest. It was that the path between "I want to make this" and "here is the thing I made" had 47 decision points and my brain treated each one like a new task to start from scratch.

So I started cutting steps.

Built a tool (Drake Studio) that collapses manga creation into something I can actually complete. Character generation, panel layout, story flow — structured so that picking up mid-session doesn't require re-orienting from zero. It saves state in a way that matches how my brain actually loses and recovers context.

The thing I didn't expect: building the tool taught me a lot about my own ADHD. Every friction point I removed was a place I'd been blaming myself for "failing to follow through." The steps were the problem. I just didn't have language for it until I started eliminating them.

It's available now at https://sweepsy.gumroad.com/l/uufoe ($29, offline/local, no subscription). Sharing mostly because the process of building it changed how I see my own executive function — curious if others have built things specifically designed around how they actually work rather than how they're "supposed to" work.

What have you built or adapted to fit your actual ADHD brain instead of fighting it?
