I turn adulting into cheat sheets for the fed-up.

Life shouldn’t be this complex. Taxes, benefits, insurance, politics... it’s like you’re expected to be a research expert, or else you get screwed. That’s where I come in. I’m a research expert on speed dial. I break down your most important life chores into idiot-proof steps, charts, tools, and videos, so you know what to do next and why. Every output follows an extensive, multi-step methodology and cites its sources, so you can inspect its trustworthiness to your heart’s content, starting with the examples below. If you’re an organization that helps the public navigate complicated systems, contact me for a discounted, early-adopter quote.

3. Friction Fixer Workbook (spreadsheet template)

A method for finding tools that fix a specific struggle. It breaks a struggle into research-named friction points, matches each one to its best-supported treatment, and pairs each treatment with a second treatment that prevents its side effects. Then it audits apps, devices, and services against those treatments by cost, setup effort, privacy, and the person’s own devices. Every mark cites a dated source.
