✓What It Is
A visual task triage system that sorts your endless to-do list into three piles: HOT (max 3 urgent tasks), WARM (important but flexible), and COLD (someday/maybe). Based on the Three-Pile System™ from the Human AF book.
✗What It's Not
Not another endless to-do list where everything feels urgent. Not a productivity hack that assumes willpower. Not designed for neurotypical brains—this is built specifically for ADHD time blindness.
⚡Why It Works
Forces honest prioritization when working memory can't hold 47 "urgent" things. The 3-task HOT limit acknowledges your brain's actual capacity. Makes the invisible visible with clear visual organization.

ADHD-Friendly Tips
- ✅ HOT pile limit: Max 3 tasks. Your brain can't handle "everything is urgent."
- ✅ Drag & drop: Move tasks between piles as priorities shift.
- ✅ WARM pile: Important stuff that doesn't need to happen NOW.
- ✅ COLD pile: Dreams and ideas for later. It's okay to let them chill.
- ✅ Completion boost: Check off tasks for that sweet dopamine hit! 🎉
