I feel like my whole life has been “you have so much potential” followed by me staring at a blank screen for two hours. In school and college I was that kid who swore id start the assignment early then suddenly it was 1am, I was deep in some random tab and my brain was doing that ADHD thing where starting literally felt painful I tried all the usual “fix yourself” stuff. Meditation apps. Breathing apps. Journaling. Some of them are great, but I never stuck with any of it. Sitting still for 10 minutes to do a body scan when I am already overwhelmed just does not fit my brain or my schedule. I needed something fast and kinda fun that met me in the chaos, not another serious ritual I was going to feel guilty about skipping. So I built an app basically just for me at first. It is called Dialed. When I am mentally stuck, I open it, type one or two messy sentences about what is going on, and it gives me a 60 second cinematic pep talk with music and a voice that feels like a mix of coach and movie trailer guy. Over time it learns what actually hits for me. What motivates me, how I talk to myself, whether I respond better to gentle support or a little bit of fire. The whole goal is simple. I want it to be the thing you open in the 30 seconds between “I am doubting myself” and “screw it I am spiraling”. A tiny pattern interrupt that makes you feel capable fast, then points you at one small action to take right now. Not a 30 day program. Just 60 seconds that get you out of your head and into motion. It has genuinely helped me with job applications, interviews, first startup attempts, all the moments where ADHD plus low self belief were screaming at me to bail. Sharing this because a lot of you probably know that “I know what to do but I cannot get myself to start” feeling. If you want to check it out, search “Dialed: personalized pep talks” in the App Store. If you do try it, I would love unfiltered feedback 🙂 submitted by /u/Pickles1551 [link] [comments]
