ChaosFlow
Finally, a Productivity System That Actually Works When Your Brain Doesn’t Cooperate
Hey there,
Let me guess.
You’ve tried every productivity system under the sun. You’ve color-coded, categorized, tagged, and organized… for about 3 days before abandoning it all because it felt like trying to fit a tsunami into neat little boxes.
The problem isn’t you. It’s that most productivity systems are designed for people whose brains work in straight lines.
But your brain? It’s more like a pinball machine – brilliant ideas bouncing around, making unexpected connections, and occasionally falling into the void.
That’s why I created ChaosFlow.
Why Every Other System Has Failed You
Let’s be honest about what happens when you try a new productivity system:
- You get excited about the promise of finally getting organized
- You spend hours setting everything up perfectly
- You stick with it for a few days, feeling accomplished
- You miss a day because, well, life happens
- You feel guilty about falling off track
- The guilt makes you avoid the system entirely
- You eventually abandon it and the cycle repeats
This isn’t because you lack discipline or commitment. It’s because those systems were built for neurotypical brains that:
- Maintain consistent focus
- Remember to check their task lists
- Follow through on plans without distraction
- Process information in neat, linear ways
But that’s not how your brain works. And fighting against your brain’s natural patterns is exhausting.
What Makes ChaosFlow Different From Everything Else You’ve Tried
ChaosFlow isn’t just another system that will make you feel like a failure when you inevitably abandon it. It’s built on a completely different foundation:
- It works with your natural chaos, not against it
- It expects abandonment and builds in recovery mechanisms
- It centers everything around daily notes so you always know where to start
- It uses AI as your processing partner to reduce cognitive load
- It adapts to your fluctuating focus levels instead of demanding consistency
- It creates momentum despite inconsistent usage
Most importantly, it was created by someone (me) who has abandoned more productivity systems than I can count. I’ve spent years figuring out what actually works when your brain constantly fights traditional approaches.
The ChaosFlow System: Built for Your ADHD Reality
ChaosFlow is a complete productivity system based on three key parts working together:
1. Your ADHD Brain (The Idea Generator)
Your brain is amazing at generating ideas, seeing unexpected connections, and hyperfocusing on interesting problems. ChaosFlow lets your brain do what it does best without forcing it to also handle organization.
2. Obsidian (The Flexible Structure)
Obsidian provides the perfect balance of structure and flexibility. It connects ideas without forcing rigid organization, letting your natural thinking patterns emerge.
3. AI (Your Executive Function Partner)
AI handles the executive function tasks that ADHD brains struggle with – organizing information, extracting action items, and finding patterns in chaos.
Core Features That Make This Actually Work
Daily Notes That Capture Everything Without Overwhelming You
- A consistent place to dump every thought without decisions about where things belong
- Templates tailored to different brain states (high focus, scattered, low energy)
- Simple processing that extracts value without requiring perfect organization
- The end of “where do I put this?” paralysis
Project Management That Survives Abandonment
- Project dashboards designed for “future confused you” after weeks away
- The “Breadcrumb Trail” technique that helps you pick up where you left off
- The “15-Minute Project CPR” method for restarting abandoned projects
- Simple project templates that focus on next steps, not complex planning
Knowledge Management That Matches ADHD Thinking
- The “Connection Engine” that leverages your natural ability to link ideas
- “Progressive Summarization for Different Brain States” that works with fluctuating focus
- The “Knowledge Archipelago” approach that doesn’t require perfect organization
- AI-assisted processing that finds patterns you’d miss
The Recovery Toolkit (Because You Will Abandon This)
- The “No-Shame Restart Protocol” for coming back after gaps
- “Gap Notes” that bridge periods of system abandonment
- The “Emergency Restart” procedure for getting back on track quickly
- Permission to start fresh without the guilt spiral
Who This Is Perfect For
Writers and Creative Professionals
ChaosFlow excels at capturing scattered ideas and developing them into finished work:
- Turn daily note fragments into writing projects
- Maintain momentum when focus inevitably fades
- Process feedback without spiraling
- Actually finish the projects you start
Students and Researchers
Convert information overload into usable knowledge:
- Process research without falling down rabbit holes
- Create learning projects that survive inconsistent attention
- Extract insights from readings even when you don’t finish books
- Build connections between ideas across different subjects
Knowledge Workers and Professionals
Manage work demands without dropping balls:
- Track projects across interruption-filled days
- Process meeting notes into actionable insights
- Build a professional knowledge base over time
- Look more organized than you actually are
Personal Project Managers
Finally make progress on those important-but-not-urgent projects:
- Break down overwhelming projects into doable steps
- Recover momentum after inevitable periods of neglect
- Create project dashboards that future-you can understand
- Build evidence of progress even when it feels like you’re going nowhere
Why ChaosFlow Isn’t “Just Another Obsidian System”
You might be wondering, “Why another Obsidian system? I’ve tried those before.”
ChaosFlow is fundamentally different because:
- It’s built around recovery, not consistency – Other systems assume perfect usage; ChaosFlow plans for the inevitable gaps
- It matches ADHD thinking patterns – The structure follows how ADHD brains actually work, not how they “should” work
- It integrates AI as an executive function partner – AI handles the organization so your brain can focus on creation
- It’s designed by someone who has failed at every other system – Each feature comes from years of trial, error, and abandonment
Most Obsidian systems are adaptations of neurotypical productivity approaches. ChaosFlow is built from the ground up for ADHD brains.

- You believe the solution is just trying harder and having more discipline
- You’re looking for a one-size-fits-all approach
The Cold, Hard Truth
I’m not going to lie to you: ChaosFlow isn’t a magical system that will suddenly fix everything. Your brain will still work the way it does. You’ll still have days when focus is nowhere to be found. You’ll still abandon parts of the system sometimes.
The difference is that ChaosFlow is designed for this reality.
Instead of making you feel guilty about how your brain works, it gives you practical tools to capture value from your natural thinking patterns – even when they’re chaotic, even when they’re inconsistent.
