When I am finding tasks hard to complete I fall back to paper lists. These are privileged relative to all the things that live on a screen and compete with all the things I need to deal with to get the tasks done that... also live on a screen.

Paper works because it's single-channel. No notifications, no tabs, no competing inputs. BrainDump is built on that same principle. You see one card. Not a list. Not a dashboard. One task, full screen. The only difference is the input is your voice instead of a pen, which matters when the executive function barrier is the act of writing things down in the first place.
