What is MuddleMend?
MuddleMend helps adults with ADHD set up everyday technology, phones, reminders, focus modes and the smart home, as practical support for the moments where daily life keeps breaking down. The guides walk you through the setup, the daily use, and how to tell whether it is actually helping.
Who is MuddleMend for?
Adults with ADHD who want to find their own solutions. Especially late-diagnosed adults building systems from scratch, people who prefer self-directed learning, and anyone who wants practical tech accommodations without ongoing coaching.
How is this different from other ADHD productivity content?
There is good ADHD tech advice out there, and most of it stops at the setup. What is usually missing is the part after: whether the thing you built is actually helping, and what to change when it isn't.
That is what MuddleMend is built around. Every setup comes with a way to tell whether it is working and a decision, made in advance, about what to do if it isn't.
How do I use the guides?
Guides are practical references you can read on any device. Each one gives you buildable setups with every tap and setting spelled out, a way to tell whether a setup is helping, and what to change when it isn't.
They start with what you already own, so nothing needs buying to get value from them. No technical knowledge required, and everything is in plain language.
Do I need technical skills to use these guides?
No. The guides assume no prior technical knowledge and explain each step in plain language. They're designed to reduce setup friction and help you avoid the overwhelm that often comes with configuring new technology.
What's the difference between the newsletter and the guides?
The newsletter covers one hard moment at a time, with one setup that helps and why it works. Free, and organised by the kind of demand the moment is making.
The guides go deeper on a single area, with the full set of builds, the platform differences, the troubleshooting, and how to tell whether what you built is helping. You do not need to build all of it. One support that fits is the whole goal.
Do you take on speaking gigs or workshops?
Yes, particularly for events focused on digital accessibility, assistive technology, or neurodivergent workplace accommodations.
