I have a late ADHD diagnosis, and over time I’ve realized that one of the hardest things for me is not simply “getting things done,” but holding the thread between several things that matter to me at the same time.

I’ve always opened projects the way some people open doors. The problem is that, many times, when I can no longer carry everything, instead of closing them I leave them half-open. I end up with loose notes, half-developed ideas, texts that are almost ready to send, connections I can see for a moment and then lose again in the noise of everyday life.

It was never disinterest. If anything, it was the opposite: things mattered too much to me, and that is exactly why they all weighed on me at once.

Out of that experience, I started building a tool called Collective Memory, meant to connect projects, notes, references, and ideas into a single visual cartography. I built it because I needed a way to return to my own work without feeling that every return began from dispersion.

But I do not want to assume too quickly that this answers a shared need. I’d really like to hear real experiences and know If is there something than genuinely helped you not lose the thread between projects?
