ADHD for product managers
ADHD product managers frozen between endless backlogs, conflicting stakeholder requests, and blank PRDs..
What's actually hard
- •Staring at a blank Product Requirement Document while three development teams wait on your decision
- •Knowing the roadmap needs updating but feeling completely paralysed by fifty chaotic Jira tickets
- •Drowning in constant context-switching between Slack, specs, and meetings without completing high-impact work
How Spark fits into your day
- Run a 2-minute PRD Starter to break a massive feature spec into three manageable micro-questions
- Use the Backlog Sprint template to triage five priority user stories without opening Jira
- Generate a 2-minute Release Note draft from a messy list of raw technical bullet points
Break the freeze at your desk

Yes — ADHD strongly amplifies decision paralysis. The brain's option-ranking system misfires, so every choice feels equally weighted, and working memory can't hold enough options to compare. Result: minutes turn into hours picking a restaurant, a Netflix show, or which task to do first.
Yes — ADHD dramatically increases inbox anxiety because every unread email is a hidden decision, and ADHD brains process decisions with unusually high cost. A 200-unread inbox becomes 200 open loops, which the ADHD brain can't compress. The fear of what's inside prevents opening at all.
