Liis writes about ADHD productivity, voice capture, and why most todo apps fail tired brains.
Liis is co-founder of KeptMind and leads product, content, and ADHD-specific research. She started writing about ADHD productivity after spending five years building and abandoning every popular task app, then noticing that the abandonment patterns were too consistent to be personal failure. The KeptMind product roadmap and editorial direction grow directly from that observation: tools should be designed for the bad days, not the demo days.
Her writing focuses on what actually works for ADHD adults across months and years rather than what looks impressive in a productivity influencer thread. She has interviewed over four hundred ADHD adults about their tool stacks, abandonment patterns, and what genuinely sustained their practice past month three. The pattern she keeps documenting: maintenance burden is the silent killer of ADHD productivity systems, and tools that survive long-term are almost always simpler than the ones that promise the most.
Before KeptMind, Liis worked in design research at consumer technology companies, where she developed the longitudinal interview methodology she now applies to ADHD productivity questions. She is diagnosed with ADHD inattentive presentation and writes from inside the experience as well as from the research perspective. Her work has been cited in clinical practice discussions and ADHD coaching curricula.
Liis has written six or more articles for KeptMind. Showing the most recent below.
