How we choose

Stamps are earned per the desk's criteria: KEEP means still in use after 30 days or more, WORTH A LOOK means real merit with a situational fit. This list is re-checked quarterly and the table above carries the date. Nothing here paid to be listed, and the returned entry explains itself.

Questions

How do I stop the YouTube spiral?
Install Unhook, which strips recommendations, shorts, and autoplay while leaving search intact. Then watch the playlist you came for.
Which video should I start with?
Anything in How to ADHD's executive function playlist. It gives you shared vocabulary, which makes every other channel more useful.
