Wired to Manage
Coordination for Brains That Weren't Built for Gantt Charts

Standard project management was built for a brain that isn't yours.If you have ADHD, you already know. The Gantt charts, the daily stand-ups, the "just break it down" advice — they don't only fail. They fail, and then the failure gets misread, by everyone including you, as being bad at your job.You are not bad at your job. Coordination — holding deadlines, sequencing dependencies, delegating, leading people — is a bundle of executive functions, and in ADHD those functions run differently. This book rebuilds coordination around how your brain actually works: backward planning that makes invisible prep time visible, externalising everything so a leaky working memory can't lose it, designing around hyperfocus instead of against it, and feedback that doesn't detonate.Twenty-three short chapters. One idea each. A ten-minute step at the end of every one, always optional, never homework. Listen in any order and start with whatever is on fire.Grounded in published research, referenced in full in the written editions.Part of The Wired Collection from Rondanini Publishing.
