Hey, I'm Carlos. Veteran turned tech, dad of two kids, and the guy who brings caffeinated squirrel energy to making tools simple.
GSD stands for Get Stuff Done. This is where I break down the systems I actually use to run work, content and family life with an ADHD brain. I write every letter myself and use AI to help me sharpen my writing, the same way I'd use an editor.
How the week works
Sunday: a new video goes up on YouTube.
During the week: short Notes here on Substack with quick wins, behind-the-scenes and things I'm testing.
Friday: the letter. It goes deeper on last Sunday's video, with the parts that didn't fit, what broke and what I'd do differently.
What I write about
ADHD systems. External-brain setups that work when your focus doesn't. Start with My weekly video took 7 hours. Now it takes under 3.
Practical AI. Using AI as a tool, not a crutch. Start with An AI Will Flatter You Out of a Job and Your Books and Your Conversations Belong in One Brain
Adoption. Teaching people how to use tools, one coffee and visualization at a time.
Modern-day parents. Figuring out parenting with my wife in real time. Start with Nobody could hear me
Veteran to tech. What carried over from the military, and what I had to unlearn.
If you only read one thing, read The week I didn't post. It's the most honest look at how this whole thing runs.
