A short, repeatable protocol for the moment you sit down, open the laptop and nothing happens.
Most productivity advice is written for the days when things are going well. The harder skill is recovering quickly on the days they are not. This deck focuses on that moment, with a protocol you can learn, teach and print.

This is a ready-to-use, editable PowerPoint deck of about 49 slides on emergency reset routines for ADHD. It describes the brain crash and the Wall of Awful, then a 20-minute three-part reset, a seven-step personal routine, and trackers. It suits adults with ADHD, coaches, trainers and team leads.
Chapter 1 describes the 'face-plant' moment, why crashes are not a character flaw, and the Wall of Awful as a way to describe the barrier between intention and action. Chapter 2 gives the response: an interrupt phrase to break the shame spiral, then a 20-minute three-part reset. It runs calm your nervous system (1 to 3 minutes), clear the mental noise (about 10 minutes) with a Capture, Sort, Do method and analog timers, then choose one small action (about 7 minutes) as a micro-sprint.
Chapter 3 adds adaptive strategies: elastic structure, energy matching, stimulus-aware prompts, transition rituals, virtual body doubling, a dopamine menu for restorative breaks and a Hyperfocus Exception for knowing when not to interrupt yourself. Chapter 4 turns this into a personal routine across seven steps, from identifying crash triggers to scheduling reset check-ins.
Chapter 5 supplies the 20-Minute Emergency Reset Protocol template, a Daily Reset Routine Adherence tracker, a Trigger Identification Log and a dashboard that combines them. Chapter 6 handles three roadblocks, including 'I don't have time for a reset', and a one-page quick reference closes the deck.
