# ADHD Context Switch Guide

For the ADHD mind that loses minutes every time the task changes shape.

Context switching is where ADHD time leaks out. You go to the kitchen for water, reorganize the cabinet, forget what you came for. You open the browser to look something up, land in 14 tabs, surface four hours later with none of it finished. You close the laptop to make lunch and your codebase evaporates from working memory.

This guide is a set of **protocols, not tricks.** Built by someone who runs a QCI night shift, writes cross-substrate AI architecture, parents a neurodivergent household, and still loses 90 minutes a day to context-switch tax. The protocols close that leak.

What's inside:

- The **pre-switch dump** — 60-second ritual that makes working memory durable
- The **re-entry beacon** — how to restart a task without spending 12 minutes finding where you were
- **Tab discipline** — why ADHD brains can't use traditional tab-management apps, and what works instead
- **External prefrontal cortex** — turning your phone/notes into actual offloaded executive function
- **The cost ledger** — how to notice a context switch is coming and decide if it's worth it

Written for: ADHD adults who build things, write code, manage projects, juggle family + work, and are tired of losing time to the switch cost.

Not another "just use a planner" productivity book. Built for minds that planners fail on.
