- This is a judgment-free estimate from numbers you type. Nothing is uploaded — your figures stay in this browser.
- Every line is a place a system beats trying harder. We link the tools that help at the end.

This is not a willpower problem
Every line above is a predictable failure point of an interest-based nervous system — not a character flaw. You don't fix it by caring more; you fix it by putting a rail where the gap is. A few that help:
- Visual Timer Time blindness drives the rush premiums — shipping upgrades, last-minute rides, late fees. Make time visible.
- Gear Lab Re-buying lost keys, chargers and earbuds adds up. Buy the right anchor once instead of the wrong thing three times.
- Adult ADHD Screener If these leaks feel constant and lifelong, a validated screener is a calm first step toward understanding why.
Estimate only, built entirely from the numbers you type. Nothing is uploaded or saved to any server — your figures stay in this browser (and clear when you hit "Clear all"). This is educational, not financial or medical advice.
