Most productivity advice was written for people whose executive function is already free. The rest of us need different tools — built the other way around.
The thesis
My experience has been the opposite. If you've ever been told your brain doesn't work right, or if productivity advice has always felt like it was written for someone else, this is one of the best tools you can get your hands on.
I started building with AI because I wanted something simple — a program that told me when to buy and when to sell. That was the whole plan. What I learned along the way was that the AI didn't just hand me a finished thing. It taught me how to build the thing while we built it.
That changed what this is. Autodidact Innovations is the home for what comes out of that work. SolWorks is the first product. The next, and the one after that, I want to figure out with the people who use this.
What this is, really, is an organized brain for the brain that's used to being in chaos.
The founder
Builder · Operator · Writer
I have ADHD — the inattentive kind. The kind that makes traditional productivity advice feel like instructions written in a language I don't speak.
Everything changed when I stopped trying to fix the brain and started building around it. The schedule lives in the tool, not in my head. The next decision is pre-written.
I'm not chasing the highest-paying job anymore. I'm building work that earns a living and feels like one worth living.
The work
Most retail investing tools are built for the people who already have the discipline. SolWorks is built the other way around: it holds the discipline you already decided on, so your own plan survives the days your focus doesn't.
What's next — The next system after SolWorks isn't planned in private — it's planned with the people who use this. Subscribe to Field Notes below.
