Human AF: Authentically Focused

An Unfiltered Field Manual For Your ADHD Brain

By Matt Morrison • Authentic Mess Studios, LLC • 5-minute read

Upcoming Release

What this is: An upcoming book presenting three ADHD-specific productivity systems that work with executive dysfunction, not against it.

Who it's for: People with ADHD who need practical frameworks for managing tasks, energy, and crisis moments without shame or willpower.

What it's not: A collection of motivational quotes, neurotypical productivity hacks repackaged as "ADHD-friendly," or medical advice.

About the Book

Human AF isn't another "just try harder" productivity book. It's a research-backed, brutally honest field manual written by someone who lives with ADHD, for people who live with ADHD.

This upcoming book presents three foundational systems designed specifically for how ADHD brains actually work—not how neurotypical productivity gurus think they should work. Each system in the book has been transformed into a digital tool you can use right now.

The Three Pillars

Pillar 1: Brain Triage (Three-Pile System™)

ADHD brains see two kinds of tasks: 'NOW' and 'NOT NOW'. The Three-Pile System adds a middle option: 'Important, but you have time.' Tasks are sorted into HOT (max 3 urgent items), WARM (important but flexible), and COLD (someday/maybe).

Why it works: Forces honest prioritization when your working memory can't hold 47 "urgent" things. Separates importance from urgency to enable dopamine engineering.

Pillar 2: Pattern Detective (Energy State Tracking)

Track three energy states without judgment: Productivity Machine (hyperfocus),Steady Cruise (normal), and Brain Soup (low function). Match tasks to your energy level: Big projects when you're focused, easy admin when you're not.

Why it works: Validates the lived experience of inconsistent energy. Removes shame from low-function days. Enables strategic task planning instead of willpower reliance.

Pillar 3: Restart & Recovery (Crisis Restart Protocol)

Three crisis "switches" with observable markers: Task Paralysis,Emotional Dysregulation, and Isolation Cascade. Pre-written scripts for reaching out when executive function crashes.

Why it works: Recognizes that ADHD brains can hit crisis mode fast. Provides concrete, observable criteria instead of vague "am I okay?" anxiety. Makes asking for help accessible when you can't think straight.

About the Author

Matt Morrison wrote Human AF from lived experience—not as a neurotypical productivity expert, but as someone navigating ADHD every single day. This book and these tools came from years of trial, error, research, and figuring out what actually works.

The result? A field manual that doesn't try to "fix" you, but gives you tools designed for how your brain actually operates. No shame. No judgment. Just honest support from someone who gets it.
