Optimize UI for PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) and ADHD.

Language patterns (NON-NEGOTIABLE):

  • NO: OVERDUE, URGENT, MUST DO, CRITICAL
  • YES: Target passed, approaching target, scheduled for
  • Neutral, informational tone throughout

Visual patterns:

  • Status indicators: 🟢 (on track) 🔵 (upcoming) ⏸️ (paused) 💤 (dormant)
  • Visual chunking (clear sections)
  • Single-line items where possible
  • Date headers for grouping

Display principles:

  • 10-second scannability
  • Most important info visible without scrolling
  • Progressive disclosure (details on click)
  • Calm, non-aggressive colors
