Your 16-Week
Intensive MBA

The full core curriculum of a top business school, compressed and re-engineered for a visual, ADHD brain. Color-coded, chunked, and built around momentum — not willpower.

Your ADHD Operating System

These 6 rules matter more than any subject. An MBA fails from burnout and drift, not difficulty. Run these like background apps.
25/5
🍅

Pomodoro blocks

25 min focus → 5 min off. After 4 rounds, take 20. Never study "until done" — study in units.

recall
🧠

Active recall

Close the notes. Re-draw the diagram from memory. Retrieval beats re-reading 3-to-1.

🔁

Spaced repetition

Review each topic on day 1, 3, 7, then weekly. Beats cramming for long-term recall.

Draw it, don't read it

Every concept becomes a sketch, matrix, or flow. If you can't diagram it, you don't get it yet.

2-min
🚀

The 2-minute start

Don't commit to a session — commit to opening the notes for 2 min. Starting is the whole battle.

Body-doubling

Study on a silent video call or in a café. An external presence anchors focus far better than alone.

02

The Weekly Rhythm

A repeatable 5-day shape so you never decide "what now?" — decision fatigue is the enemy. Aim for ~2 hrs/day, 6 days. One day fully off, guilt-free.
