The Three-Second Prompt Shortcut

Screenshot copy paste when possible, when not, where do your screenshots go, lets make it thoughtless.

That's me in my own notes, about a different friction. Thoughtless is the whole idea. This film shows my favorite version of the move. I type a three character trigger and the full prompt I used to retype every time just appears. One small fix, one repetitive friction gone.

C02

Which AI for What, Using My Actual Week

I'm digging the format of notes > atlas > safari > chrome and maybe mail after

That's the kind of note I leave myself. Order of tools, decided once, so I don't decide it fresh every morning. This film does the same thing one level up. One real task from my week, which AI it goes to, and why the job changes hands partway through. None of these models is magic. The point is I route the job once instead of thirty times a day.

C03

The Course Graveyard Is Still Evidence of Trying

This one gets filmed in front of the shelf I paid for. Courses I started and didn't finish. I won't call them wise purchases and I won't burn them either. The film opens one, shows the card system I built so I can walk back into a course without starting over, and holds the hope and the cost in one frame. What the money and the guilt mean is the Life room's lesson, in my own words there. This one is about the way back in.

Saturn It

Saturn as always is beating me up about things

That's me on the day I picked the word. Saturn it is my own verb now. It means the thing does not ride on my memory or my discipline. I put an outside system on it. A scheduled post with a real fire date, a reminder that fires on the day, a job that runs whether I remember or not. Half inside joke, half serious, and it conjugates. Saturned it. Saturning this.

The Do-Not-Do List

number 2, ADHD you literally gets fueled by the "do not do " list, even my astrology maybe, other wise, the "do it" makes it even harder with my adhd even because its literally the dont do that im using as a loop whole within this adhd dysfunction that's already dysfunctional with a normal list, you know. im not trying ot be a nay sayer and shooting down all your advice but its not that simple honestly , i can try if we decide though.

I said that to an AI that had just handed me a routine. I still hold both readings of my own sentence. Maybe the forbidden list is fuel and the direct demand is the wall. Maybe the don't-do framing is the loop itself. I haven't picked, and this film doesn't pick either. It shows both readings side by side and what I watch for in myself. Normal lists already sit badly with this brain. That part I'm sure of.

C04

The Onion Problem

So I threw away a lot of onions just because I never knew how to store the rest and being ADHD, it's hard enough to make the food let alone worry about it, so I usually like don't care, I'll throw it away

That's February, and it's the whole friction. The problem was never the storing. Making the food had already used up what I had, so the leftover half was never going to get dealt with. Whatever I do about that now, this shows it. It doesn't recommend it.

C05

Never Have to Think About Alternating Again

The design principle, demonstrated on my own life, in my own words: clothing alternation bound to weekdays ("like form an undeniable association of color for you"), and the medicine cabinet that ends the ADHD double-dose fear ("days where you don't double up on medication because you're scared if you didn't think you did it"). One-time setup, permanent relief — shown as lived systems, not sold as a service.

C06

The Library of Multitask Items

NON NEGOTIABLE IS DISHWASHER TABS

NOT WEAK ITEMS.

LIBRARY OF MULTITASK ITEMS - PODS ETC

STAGE 1 -4 BASED ON MOOD

Four lines, shouted at myself in a note in February. The idea is that the item does the work on the days I can't, so the choosing happens once, in advance, when I have it in me. Stage 1 to 4 based on mood is four words and I have not built out what they mean. This shows the shelf and the note. The staging gets worked out on camera or not at all.

C07

Transcribe for Free, with Terminal

i can show them how to transcrine FOR FREE, with temrinal like im doing , my next edge can be also doing that with text and all toehr things

Typos mine, note kept as typed. This is a thing I already run on my own recordings, so the film is me doing it, not me teaching a course about it. The next edge in that sentence was still an edge when I wrote it.

C08

B Roll of Me Inputting My Finance Sheet

b roll of me inputting my finance sheet (screen record - tripod)

That is the entire note. I wrote down the shot before I wrote down anything about what it means. It is hands and a screen while I keep the sheet true, and nothing real on that screen will be readable.

C09

I'm Calling It ADHD Tax

like a ADHD tax thing(which im defining as , i"ll buy this cause i cant trust my adhd self to be safe relying on self as normal people do without these products, im calling adhd tax, which are a safe guard, like already cooked or just gotta microwva food , etc etc..

...paying for things, uh, neurotypical person wouldn't need to pay for just to make sure your boat is staying afloat because when you don't do that, it is very High stakes for you. and you will duly pay for it. And it's just cheaper to pay this ADHD tax.

due to my ADHD tax this has been sitting in my apartment still dusty

I’m spending so much eating out cause I don’t know how to cook and adhd tax

I typed the first one in June and said the second one the next morning. The two under them are from months earlier, when I was using the phrase without noticing it had become a term I had. It's what I call the money that buys the safeguard.

The Things I Keep Wishing AI Would Do

i actually wish i could understand the bills coming and final dates etc and how i could maybe negotiate if i can etc or if its set

i just dont remember what hte voice memo says and the notes i took from the phone conversation, i wish you could remind me.

i wish i could have ai agents do it for me, it doesnt seem possible.

I wish there was a way i could get you an actual transcript of the audio... i want something low effort and easy, especially something claude could do for me would be great.

Four of the six, spread across a few months. The other two are written in my own shorthand for my own setup and would need a translation I'm not bolting onto them here. The count is six. A summary sitting in my own files said hundreds, and that was wrong.

C11

The Wandering Was Efficient

And then we also often judge our, like, especially the ADHD wanderings. Like, I want to find a link for an online keyboard, but then many things along the way. That's still life. You still need to get to those things, and if you don't do those interruptions — see, if we're supposed to stay focused, you probably didn't get to them otherwise. So you're efficient. You fit it in.

It's not a good idea all the time, obviously, but thank God, right? Imagine we only had to have good ideas.

One recording, both halves of it, nothing added. The qualifier is mine and it stays exactly where I put it. I'm describing one afternoon and a link I was looking for, not anybody else's brain.

C12

The Tap Will Run Empty

It's easy to assume all my life might be this just unendingly generating content, but I think this brainstorming part should always be prioritized no matter what and that the tap will run empty at some point. I will get a rest from this at some point.

January, in the middle of making more than I ever had. Nothing comes after it. No plan for when the tap runs out and no method for keeping it full.

C13

Life Is for Imperfect Stages

I do have a pretty strong conviction that life is for imperfect stages, like stages where you haven't figured out your ADHD and stuff. So I'm talking, like, in that sense, it is, it feels against my nature a little bit to be sticking with routines. And I know people can romanticize that and that that's kind of a trap.

Said in May. Both halves are one thought.

C14

The Instrument, Not the Tool

sometimes i gaslight myself and say im lazy, but other times i have grace for myself because its porbablyu harder for me to "listen" and "be open" when it comes to stuff like this

[...]

its like they have a brain that is a bit auto pilot and low connection to them, almost like an AI, which can process it with out using as much energy as i wouljd have to use and it kinda becaomes a tool for them were as for me, i feel like the tool, the insturment..

March, one continuous run of typing, the two parts about ninety words apart. What sits between them is left out.

C15

With You It Won't Be Enough

I need a program to go through where it’s actual accountability and go time.. I need to be in an engine, I need it to start is what I’m saying chat. With you it won’t be enough, I know it. Not because you can’t help but I won’t take it as seriously with overwhelm i feel.

January, typed to the machine, about the machine. It is not about what it can do.
