About Matt Elior

I write everything on this site.

I have ADHD. I was diagnosed at 27. Before that I spent years assuming I was just bad at things other people found easy.

I work in AI and tech. That combination is the reason this site exists. I kept watching tools get marketed as the answer for ADHD brains, and I kept finding that most of them were the same old productivity software with a chat box bolted on. Some of them help. Most don't. Almost nobody writing about them has ADHD.

What I actually do here

I test productivity tools and write about what happened. Not what the feature page promised. What happened when I tried to use the thing on a Tuesday afternoon

So far I've tested dozens of tools and written about them.

I also write about systems, not just software. Time blocking, task breakdown, body doubling, the whole catalog. Same standard: I use it for at least 3 weeks before I write about it, and I tell you where it fell apart for me.

What I'm not

Not a doctor. Not a therapist. Not an ADHD coach. I don't diagnose anyone and I don't give medical advice. If you want the clinical side, go to CHADD or ADDitude or an actual professional. I've linked my full medical disclaimer because I think that boundary matters.

What I have is lived experience plus a working knowledge of how these tools are built. That's a narrower claim than most people in this space make. It's also a more honest one.

Where I write from

Los Angeles, I work in sales. When I'm not writing here I like to hike and hit the gym, and watch Netflix lol

I answer email. Slowly sometimes, but I answer it. If a tool you built got a review here you disagree with, write to me and make your case. If you want to share your stories with me, I'd love to read them 😄
