Breeze wants to help me build habits. But the home screen gave me decision paralysis.
Before:
→ 3 tasks at once, brain tries to read all simultaneously
→ "Add Task" top right, too far when overwhelmed
→ "3 tasks left", guilt, not motivation
→ "Self-discovery quest" on home, why?
After: → One task visible, no forced parallel processing
→ "Add task" inline, easy to reach
→ "Your emotions this week", now I know why I'm tracking
→ Quest moved to Tests, where it belongs
Original asked too much. Redesign says: "Here's one thing to do."
Calm. Clear. Completable.

Health tracking apps serve vulnerable users.
The last thing they need is an interface that adds to their burden.
I audited Bearable as a neurodivergent user:
❌ Too many options fighting for attention
❌ '4/8' progress feels like guilt
❌ Data buried below the fold
My redesign:
✅ One clear CTA
✅ No pressure counters
✅ Summary visible at a glance

Why I redesigned Finch Care (https://www.linkedin.com/company/finchcare/) for the Neurodivergent 20%.
Most apps lose users on Day 1 because of Metaphorical Confusion. For an ADHD or Autistic brain, abstract game mechanics like "energy" can create a massive Initiation Block.
I conducted a Surgical Audit of the Finch onboarding to replace these metaphors with Literal Clarity.
The Goal: Reduce the "Anxiety-Gap" and increase first-day retention.

My first Wise redesign got 37% approval. So I iterated and tested again.
80% of neurodivergent users preferred my second version.
What changed: removed video clutter, made balance the primary focus, simplified icons with labels, matched the app's aesthetic.
Results from 30 ND users:
88% of anxiety users preferred it
81% of autistic users preferred it
79% of ADHD users preferred it
The lesson: my brain finds the friction. Testing tells me which solutions work.
I reduce emotional friction for neurodivergent users.
