  • Part 2: It cost me 10 times more. when I switched to the cheaper model.

    Part 2: It cost me 10 times more. when I switched to the cheaper model.
    2026/09/22
    Diary of an ADHD Strategist — Part 2 of 4Recently I told you the machine has no memory, and that 0.01% of my usage was anything I’d actually typed.If you ran the audit, you have your own number now. Sit with it for a second before you read on, because everything below is a footnote to it.This part is about the two changes that moved mine the most.One of them is free and I’d been ignoring it for months.The other one I’d been doing on purpose, believing I was being careful with money.The free oneWhen you finish a job and start a different one, clear the session.That’s it. /clear in Claude Code. /clear or /new in Codex. Five letters, no cost, no setup.I had never done this. Not once. I’d finish a piece of work and just... keep going in the same thread, because the thread was already open and opening a new one felt like admin.Here’s what I didn’t understand. That finished job doesn’t sit quietly in the background waiting to be useful. It gets re-sent, in full, with every single message you write after it, until the session ends.I watched my own context sitting at eighty thousand tokens of pure history. Typed /clear. Watched it go to zero.Every other fix in this series trims one component of your context. Clearing resets the whole base that all those components are a fraction of.If ninety-odd percent of your spend is the machine re-reading history, this is the only tool that deletes the history.You’re not throwing the work awayThis was my actual objection, so let me deal with it.In Claude Code, use /rename before you clear, and you can pull the session back with /resume if you ever urgently need it. In Codex, codex resume --last reopens your most recent session, or plain codex resume gives you a picker.You’re not deleting anything. You’re stopping the next job from having to carry the last one.I want to be honest about why this took me so long. It wasn’t a technical failure. It was that closing something down and starting fresh has always felt, to me, like admitting I lost the thread. Like evidence.It isn’t evidence. It’s maintenance.Now the one that hurtHere’s the move. You’re running low. You can feel the limit coming. So you do the responsible thing — you switch down to the cheaper model.You feel good about it. Sensible. Restrained.That switch is the most expensive thing you can do.Here’s why. Your conversation is cached, and reading from that cache costs a fraction of processing it fresh — roughly a tenth. That discount is the only reason long sessions don’t bankrupt you.But the model is part of the cache key.Change the model and none of your history matches any more. The entire conversation — all of it, from the top — gets reprocessed at full price.On a long session, that turns a ten-cent turn into a dollar turn. Ten times the cost, on the exact keystroke you pressed to be careful.It is completely invisible. Nothing warns you. And you did it to yourself while trying to save money.Reasoning effort does the same thing. So does turning on a faster mode. Anything that changes what’s answering you invalidates everything it has already read.What breaks it, and what doesn’tWorth knowing, because half of what I’d been avoiding was fine and the thing I was doing freely was not.Breaks your cache:Switching models. Changing reasoning or effort level. Turning on fast mode. Connecting or disconnecting a tool server if your tools load upfront. Enabling a plugin that ships one. Compacting. And a nasty one — updating your CLI and then resuming a long session from before the update.Doesn’t touch it:Editing files in your repo. Editing your instruction file. Changing output style or permission mode. Running skills and commands. Rewinds. Spawning a subagent.So the rule is short.Pick your model and your effort at the start of the session, then leave them alone.If you want to be on the cheaper model, start there. Choose once, deliberately, at the top — and then stop renegotiating with yourself halfway through.Why this one got under my skinI have been downgrading myself in rooms for as long as I can remember.Sensing that I’m taking up too much — too many questions, too much explaining, too much of someone’s afternoon — and quietly switching to a cheaper version of myself. Fewer words. Lower effort. Easier to be around.It has never once made things cost less. It makes them cost more, because the smaller version can’t finish the job, so the job comes back around.That’s what the model switch is. It’s the same move, in a terminal.Getting smaller mid-way through doesn’t save the resource. It throws away everything you’d already built up and makes you start again from nothing — and you don’t even get to see the bill.Choose properly at the start. Then stay in it.Next week: the load you never typed. Eight hundred lines of install output you didn’t read, the tool manuals sitting in your context before you write a word, and why delegating to subagents ...

  • When Everything Falls Apart (And You’re Still Expected to Hold It Together)

    When Everything Falls Apart (And You’re Still Expected to Hold It Together)
    2026/01/20
    There’s this thing that happens when you’re neurodivergent and life decides to absolutely demolish whatever fragile systems you’ve built to keep yourself functional.It’s not just that things fall apart—things fall apart for everyone. It’s that when you’re ND, you’ve spent years (decades, really) engineering these incredibly sophisticated scaffolding systems just to do what other people seem to manage automatically. And when crisis hits? That scaffolding doesn’t just wobble. It disintegrates.Last year taught me this in ways I’m still processing.💭 And by “processing,” I mean “occasionally lying awake at 3 AM wondering how I’m still upright.”The Morning Everything ChangedIt started ordinary enough. My partner was taking the dog out—just another morning routine in our carefully constructed life. Except she mentioned her eyesight wasn’t quite right.💬 “But I’m still going to take the dog out.”Ten minutes later, there’s a knock on the door. Which is weird for that time of morning. Strange enough that my brain flagged it immediately—that’s not right, that’s not the pattern—before I even opened it.She fell through the doorway.I caught her. Called emergency services. Watched as the life we’d been building got loaded into an ambulance.Stroke.She was in hospital for weeks. I stayed with her for two months while she recovered, watching someone I love struggle with tasks that used to be automatic. Watching her face the same kind of cognitive challenges I’ve been navigating my whole life, except hers appeared suddenly, traumatically, without the decades of coping mechanisms I’ve had to develop.💭 There’s something particularly cruel about watching someone you love experience a fraction of what you deal with daily and seeing how hard it is for them. It makes you realize how hard it’s been for you all along. And also how resilient you’ve had to become without even noticing.The Impossible EquationHere’s where the neurodivergent experience gets especially fun during crisis:I’m in London because that’s where work is. My partner and daughter are elsewhere. My daughter is three years old and needs her dad. My partner is recovering from a stroke and needs support. I have ADHD and dyslexia, which means sustained separation from my family while maintaining work responsibilities while managing crisis is...Let me put this mathematically, because sometimes numbers help:Executive Function Required = (Work demands × Physical distance) + (Family crisis × Emotional load) ÷ (Support systems - Geographic isolation) × (Neurodivergent processing challenges)The answer? Does not compute.And yet. Here I am. Computing it anyway. Because what’s the alternative?What Isolation Looks Like When Your Brain Already Feels IsolatedThere’s the regular isolation that everyone talks about—being physically separated from people you love, missing important moments, feeling disconnected.Then there’s neurodivergent isolation during crisis, which is... different.It’s not just being alone. It’s being alone while your brain is screaming for dopamine, for routine, for the exact structures that have just been obliterated. It’s needing to talk through your thoughts to process them (hello, ADHD verbal processing) but being physically separated from your people. It’s needing familiar environments to function optimally but being split between two locations because life demanded it.It’s watching yourself struggle with things you “should” be handling better while simultaneously knowing that of course you’re struggling—your entire support infrastructure just collapsed.💭 The cruel irony: I’ve spent years building systems to support other neurodivergent people, teaching them how to construct sustainable structures for their lives. And then life said “lol no” and knocked mine over like a toddler with blocks.The Mythology of ResiliencePeople love to talk about resilience. Especially when talking about neurodivergent people or people facing challenges. “You’re so resilient!” they say, like it’s a compliment.But here’s what resilience actually looks like in practice:It’s trying to be consistent for the people who’ve asked for your help while your brain is doing backflips trying to remember what day it is.It’s showing up for work calls while calculating whether you have enough executive function left to also remember to eat lunch.It’s being present for your three-year-old daughter during precious video calls while part of your brain is spiraling about all the moments you’re missing.It’s holding space for your partner’s recovery while your own mental health is doing that thing where it pretends everything’s fine until it absolutely isn’t.Resilience isn’t strength. It’s the exhausting mathematics of rationing a finite resource (your cognitive capacity) across infinite demands.And sometimes—most times—the equation doesn’t ...

  • S5 EP17: ADHD as an Entrepreneurial Superpower - Conversation with Stephanie Hayes

    S5 EP17: ADHD as an Entrepreneurial Superpower - Conversation with Stephanie Hayes
    2025/05/07

    This episode tells the compelling story of Stephanie Hayes, a seasoned business strategist who has spent years immersed in the world of startups and small businesses.

    She's known for helping entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of growth and plan for their future, including exit strategies. But there's another crucial layer to Stephanie's journey: her experience with ADHD.

    For much of her life, Stephanie was a high performer, excelling in various fields, even while navigating certain types of work that felt like a "slog" or presented difficulties with initiation.

    It wasn't until later, in 2021, that she received her ADHD diagnosis. This understanding brought a profound shift in perspective.

    Today, Stephanie doesn't view her ADHD as a deficit, but rather as her superpower. She sees that the very traits often associated with ADHD – a need for stimulation and a love for solving problems – are powerful drivers in the entrepreneurial landscape.

    The constant learning and overcoming challenges inherent in building a business resonate deeply with her. She has developed specific systems and found tools, like medication and even AI, that enable her to function effectively and channel this energy into productive work.

    This episode delves into how embracing neurodivergence – understanding and leveraging how your unique brain works – can be a powerful business strategy. Stephanie highlights that for neurodivergent individuals, aligning their business with who they are is not just personally beneficial, but strategically smart.

    Many of her clients also live with ADHD, finding common ground and shared understanding in this approach.

    Join us for a down-to-earth and insightful conversation with Stephanie Hayes as she shares her personal journey, practical strategies, and the powerful belief that ADHD can indeed be an entrepreneurial superpower, unlocking potential when you learn to work with your brain, not against it, and truly embrace neurodivergence for success.
