CHEAT CODES: How I Hacked My ADHD Brain (and you can too): An ADHD Transformation Guide
"I have a million planners and never stick with them." Sound familiar? Here's why traditional productivity advice fails ADHD brains—and what actually works instead.
If you're tired of feeling scattered, disorganized, and stuck in cycles of starting-then-quitting, this book is for you. You've tried the apps, the systems, the motivational videos—but nothing sticks. You're not broken. You just need the right strategy guide.
Written by Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Jonathan Murphy, someone who always flew by the seat of his pants, gave up a million times, and felt unworthy and incapable of sustained change. Through trial and error, he discovered that slaying these "dragons" was necessary to become the person he knew he could be—to prove to himself he was worthy.
The brutal Most productivity systems assume you can simply decide to do something and consistently do it. If you have ADHD, you know this approach doesn't work. You need cheat codes designed for how your brain actually operates.
The A 3-phase system that works WITH your ADHD, not against
PHASE FOUNDATIONS - Master balance, mindset, and environment
PHASE PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION - Use the Focus Formula to move forward
PHASE SUSTAINABLE CHANGE - Finally make habits stick (⚠️ Foundation required first)
You'll
• The "80/20 Rule for ADHD" that prevents burnout
• How to create "micro fresh starts" that maintain motivation
• The week-to-week flow that transforms time management
• Why check marks are mandatory for ADHD brains
• How to turn failed attempts into valuable data
While you truly can do anything, you don't have enough time to do everything—so you have to choose and engineer a life for yourself. This book originally started in 2022, and the author is coming back to finish it before diving into much more with Compass Point Institute and beyond.
What became Completing a half-ironman, learning to swim freestyle and ski, building two successful brands, learning guitar, digital detox (flip phone since 2019). But what the author discovered after building these habits was the true source of his drive to prove something to himself. Understanding our limitations ultimately means understanding our nervous system and what we've been through.
This is a book of lived experience. I am living proof—if I can do this, you can too. But you have to apply these concepts to yourself.
Stop grinding through life on hard mode.
