WHY ADHD ADULTS CHOOSE PRESSURE Most task managers count tasks. Pressure measures cognitive weight. Most ADHD planners are generic to-do lists in new colors. Pressure was designed for ADHD minds from day one — for executive function, overwhelm, task paralysis, and the invisible mental load nobody talks about. If other task managers, planners, or focus apps left you buried — this is for you. THE SCIENCE — MENTAL LOAD MEASUREMENT Every task scored on three axes: - Uncertainty — how clear is the next step? - Dependency — how much waits on others? - Postponement — how long have you avoided it?
