I'm Dr. Monica Rysavy. I turn your duct-taped operations into actual infrastructure. The kind that works when you're running on coffee fumes and good intentions.
That panicked feeling when a client asks about "that thing we discussed" and you have no idea which of your 47 open tabs contains the answer? I fix that.
You're managing your entire business from your inbox. Your project management tool is somehow always three weeks behind reality. You built an elaborate Notion system you haven't opened since February. And every Sunday night, you promise yourself that THIS week you'll finally get organized.
Sound familiar?
Here's what no one talks about: You don't need more discipline. You don't need another productivity app. You don't need to wake up at 5 AM and journal.
You need systems designed for how your brain actually works.
Not how it should work. Not how that guru's brain works. How YOUR brain works—especially if it's running ADHD software like mine.
But behind the scenes?
let me guess...
Your System Isn't Broken. It's Fighting You.
Traditional operations assume you think in straight lines.
That you have consistent energy.
That you'll remember to update that spreadsheet.
That executive function is an unlimited resource.
→ Running three businesses from one Gmail account
→ Using Slack as a filing system
→ Keeping critical information in screenshots on your phone
→ Wondering if you invoiced that client from two months ago
→ Building "quick fixes" that now take longer than doing it manually
Meanwhile, in reality, you're:
I know because I've been there. ADHD brain. Running on perpetual overwhelm. Building systems I'd abandon the moment life got complicated.
Then my dad died of cancer in 2019. Right in the middle of my academic career taking off. It taught me something: Tomorrow isn't promised. But your operations should be.
Strategic speed bumps that prevent bigger crashes
Built FOR our brains, not adapted from neurotypical templates
Every system tested under actual chaos
I don't build Instagram-worthy systems you'll abandon. I build boring, resilient infrastructure that works when everything else falls apart.
After serving as COO at Forte Labs (yes, the Building a Second Brain company) and now managing operations for 10+ businesses, I've developed a methodology that actually works for non-linear thinkers:
Fix what's actually broken, not what looks broken
This isn't a character flaw. It's a systems problem.
Your brain works differently. That's not a bug—it's a feature. But you've been trying to run it on software designed for someone else.
Every Sunday, you sit down with the best intentions. Every Monday, those intentions meet reality. By Wednesday, you're back to running everything from memory and prayer.
I've helped business owners go from $150K to $750K by fixing their operations. I manage backend systems for businesses doing millions. I've published 32 peer-reviewed articles on instructional design and adult learning.
But more importantly? I have ADHD. I get the tax we pay. I understand the shame spiral of abandoned systems. I know what it's like to be brilliant at strategy and terrible at remembering where you saved that strategy.
Your operations should work with your brain, not against it.
Every Sunday I write from our Delaware home (or Prague apartment) about operations, ADHD, and why tomorrow isn't promised. No fluff. No guru garbage. Just systems that actually work.
I get it. I'm currently managing operations for multiple 7 and 8-figure business owners while getting my law degree at UNH Franklin Pierce. If I can keep those plates spinning with ADHD, imagine what the right systems could do for you.
