A house that still works on a bad day

We're a family of four, two small children, running an ADHD household on systems simple enough to survive the worst day of the week. Everything here was built in our own kitchen because we needed it, not because it tested well.

This is you if you've tried the systems and they never stick. Every surface has something on it. By 6pm you've got nothing left.

Twenty-five years of kitchens, and a camp stove

There's a camping stove on the worktop and an air fryer beside it. He was a head chef at twenty-one and left the kitchen last February to build the tool he'd needed the whole time.

We live in a one-bedroom tin house with two children and no oven. That isn’t a hook — it’s the constraint everything here was built under, and why none of it assumes a good week.

How this started

Three things, and that's it

  • Wherever You Are

    140 screen-free missions and a seven-day plan. Seventy for the child, seventy for the grown-up, for the days nobody can think of a single thing to do. £12.

  • The ADHD Operating System

    The whole system written down: the 28-day reset, safe mode, the weekly sync, the children's missions. The thing the rest of this came out of. £18, or £25 with the missions pack.

  • The writing

    Why your child can't fall asleep without a screen. Why you order a takeaway with food in the house. One honest answer at a time, and all of it free.
