Hi, I'm Joel, co-founder of Chapter. I have ADHD.
My late diagnosis meant that throughout my life I've unknowingly developed mechanisms and hacks just to get through the day. Oftentimes it would feel like I'm fighting my brain.
I spent a lot of time trying to change myself just to be able to work like everyone else. It was exhausting. So I wondered if I could change the environment around me instead.
I knew I could focus better in closed, distraction-free spaces. I wondered if there was a way to simulate that kind of space anywhere.
Could I have my own oasis physically and mentally wherever I go?
Could I channel my ability to focus on demand?
And so the Oasis Dimmers were created.
