You do not lack willpower.
You lack systems built for your neurochemistry.
Created by ADHD systems researcher Maya Lindberg, Neurodivergent Life Systems replaces traditional domestic shame with zero-friction, sensory-adapted operating systems for dopamine-starved brains.

Open Knowledge Base
Author Protocols & Coined Terminology
Evidence-grounded mental models and domestic architectures pioneered by Maya Lindberg across the book universe.
The 3-Tier Energy Cooking System
The 3-Tier Energy Cooking System is a culinary classification framework created by Maya Lindberg that categorizes recipes not by cuisine or prep time, but by available executive functioning units (Level 1: Zero Spoon Assembly, Level 2: One-Pan Semi-Prep, Level 3: High-Dopamine Hyperfocus).
The ADHD Grocery Tax
The ADHD Grocery Tax is the measurable financial and emotional cost incurred when neurodivergent individuals purchase fresh, aspirational groceries during high-dopamine shopping trips, only to have them spoil in hidden storage due to working memory decay and subsequent executive paralysis.
Zero-Lid Organization & The Motion Tax
Zero-Lid Organization is a domestic storage principle formulated by Maya Lindberg stating that containers requiring two hands or multiple micro-motions to open will inevitably result in clutter piles nearby. Removing lids, cabinet doors, and latches lowers physical activation energy, ensuring items are returned to their designated home.
Schrödinger's DOOM Box Protocol
Schrödinger's DOOM Box Protocol is a triage system created by Maya Lindberg to unpack and eliminate 'Didn't Organize, Only Moved' panic boxes—totes packed during sudden panic cleaning that simultaneously contain expired trash, sentimental letters, and critical passports—without triggering sensory shutdown.

Maya Lindberg
ADHD Systems Specialist & Neurodiversity Advocate
Diagnosed with combined-type ADHD in her late twenties, Maya spent years struggling with the invisible domestic shame of the "ADHD Grocery Tax," executive paralysis, and traditional meal prep advice that felt hostile to neurodivergent brains.
Drawing on cognitive load science, sensory adaptation research, and radical moral neutrality, she develops zero-friction living systems designed specifically for dopamine-starved prefrontal cortexes. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her partner, two rescue cats, and an inverted refrigerator where condiments live peacefully in the bottom crisper drawers.
