Matcha Prep for ADHD-Style Focus: Friction-Low Setup
This is not medical advice. It is a routine-design framework for people who do better with fewer steps and faster starts.
Quick answer
Use a “2-minute matcha station” with pre-measured scoops, a visible cue, and a timed first task.
Build your station once
- Keep bowl, whisk/frother, and scoop in one tray.
- Pre-portion 3-5 servings (1g each) in mini containers.
- Put the tray where work starts, not where storage lives.
