Episode Details

When Daniel wrote in about his new tactical EDC belt, he asked a question that goes far beyond gear: "Can a belt fix a brain problem?" This episode takes that question seriously, exploring how everyday carry systems externalize working memory for people with ADHD. We break down the cognitive mechanism behind lost items, why traditional solutions like "put it in the same place" fail, and how a properly designed belt with retention pouches can eliminate entire categories of interruption. From quick-release buckles to the three-touch rule, we cover what actually works for someone juggling childcare, unboxing, and drilling — without turning into a gear museum.
