Built in the mess
Built by someone whose brain does this too.
Matt Morrison wrote Built For Chaos after decades of cycling through systems that collapsed the moment real life got loud. The book keeps what worked and throws out the shame.
“A must-read for people with ADHD and those who want to support them.”
