ADHDThe Classes
Forty minutes into "one small thing," eleven tabs deep, nothing done — every room Doug teaches knows that feeling. These live classes turn it into a system. The core offering is the Library Series: three 90-minute classes for public libraries, chambers of commerce, meetup groups, and coaching programs. Each stands alone; together they're a complete program. Open on a projector, arrow keys, teach. Every claim survived a fact-check.
🎒 The Yap Method
The system itself: talk messy, start small. Live demo, two hands-on sprints with countdowns, a pop quiz, and the four words the room says out loud together.
🗄️ Build a Second Brain
Obsidian, four folders, one talking habit. Everyone leaves with a working vault: a live 10-minute setup sprint, a "shout out where you got stuck" segment, honest pricing, and a first-week plan.
⚖️ ADHD + AI: The Honest Case
Four real pros, five real cons, the ADHD rabbit hole and how to climb out with your thread intact, a hands-on exercise, and what real coaches actually do with AI.
Also in the kit:
ADHD After 50
The decade nobody diagnosed: the real underdiagnosis numbers, the menopause collision, the dementia headline handled honestly, and the first tools that fit — voice-first and judgment-free. Built for the most overlooked audience in the whole ADHD space.
The 2-Hour Brain, on a Mac mini
Class 2's vault gets a body and a pulse: an always-on little computer running a daily inbox janitor and a Sunday librarian. Capture by voice, approve every move, watch your notes start writing back. The follow-up to Build a Second Brain.
Hyperfocus, Handled
The six hours you lost yesterday, explained and equipped: hyperfocus vs. flow, the pre-flight checklist, the save-game move, baiting the right rabbit hole, and the recovery-day protocol. Course page →
The AI Audit
For owners of businesses with too many moving parts: map the machine, count one honest week, price the worst leak, plug it with a draft-and-approve workflow — then keep it alive with the Friday 20 kaizen loop. Business page →
The Evidence Files
What science actually knows about ADHD + AI — and how to spot what it doesn't. The three shelves (supported, suggested, sold), the 60-second claim autopsy, the zero-studies club, and a live "autopsy an ad" exercise. Built from the vault's consensus research.
Sleep, Food, Movement: The Honest ADHD Health Class
The health science minus the supplement aisle: the one solid sleep number, the six-studies toolbox, omega-3 and fasting read honestly, and the doctor-visit question list everyone builds before they leave. Companion to the Health page →
Talk Messy, Start Small — the 2-hour workshop
The longer Yap Method workshop with a "phones out, scan this" QR slide that pulls the whole room into the hands-on Quest, a real break with its own countdown, and a share-out. Use when the venue gives you the bigger slot.
Can AI Actually Make You Faster?
The real productivity numbers ranked by rigor, the catch nobody quotes, the honest ADHD research gap, and how to become your own study.
How to teach with these: arrow keys or clicking advances, and the corner badge shows where you are on the class clock. Bullet lists reveal one line per beat so you control the pace. The four words land one at a time, so say them with the room. Pop-quiz slides let the audience answer before you reveal. Timers keep counting even if you bump the keyboard. And every class now has a full teacher's workbook below — the deck is what the room sees; the workbook is what you know.
📓 Teacher's workbooks: minute-by-minute run sheets, expanded talking points for every slide, facilitation notes, answers to the tough questions rooms actually ask — plus a printable student worksheet in each one.

⏱️ Can AI Actually Make You Faster?
Suggested pacing, hard-question prep for skeptical rooms, printable handout.
🌌 New for Class 2: the Second Brain Map — a live, Obsidian-style graph of a demo vault the whole room can play with. Project it during the "your vault becomes a map" slide, or send people home with the link: they can drag the notes, click into every one, and press Grow to watch eight weeks of daily yaps become a constellation.
📥 Slides to go — every class as a PowerPoint: teaching somewhere the web deck can't follow (venue laptop, no wifi, "please email us your slides")? Every deck below is also a real .pptx — same slides, same honest words, brand colors, speaker notes included. The web decks stay the best way to teach (timers, quizzes, confetti); the PowerPoints are for everywhere else.
