When AI Limits Become Superpowers: Breaking Mental Roadblocks in Neurodivergent Development
When AI Limits Become Superpowers: Breaking Mental Roadblocks in Neurodivergent Development
The Invisible Productivity Killers
Mental roadblocks used to kill my productivity. I’d have a brilliant idea, then spend three hours staring at an empty Jira epic template, paralyzed by “proper Agile formatting.” By the time I figured out the corporate language, I’d lost the creative thread entirely.
Sound familiar? If you’re neurodivergent—particularly dealing with ADHD like I am—you know these invisible barriers all too well. Certain things would just stall my brain and slow or halt my productivity on work that actually mattered. When I work on my own projects, I like to just go. I don’t like to do a lot of planning. But I’ve also learned that planning is good, and the more complex things get, the more you need some sort of dynamic, living documentation to fall back on.
