The Reactor Protocol
The operating manual for professionals whose brains produce extraordinary output under the right conditions — and crash spectacularly when they're not.
You're not broken. You're a nuclear reactor being managed with solar panel protocols. You don't need to change who you are — you need the right operating manual.
Sound familiar?
If three or more of these hit home, this book was written for your brain.
- You perform brilliantly in bursts — then crash so hard you cancel plans, ignore emails, and wonder if you're secretly failing at life
- You've rebuilt your productivity system fourteen times this year
- You've been called "high potential" but feel held together with coffee, anxiety, and the fear that one bad day will expose you as a fraud
- Your brain goes blank in the meeting you prepared for all weekend
- Meditation apps get deleted by Wednesday. Productivity books make you feel worse.
- If one more person tells you to "just make a list," someone's getting hurt
What You'll Learn
Four research-backed protocols that work with your brain — not against it.
Read & React
Read your physical, mental, and emotional capacity — then redesign your behavior around it immediately. Stop guessing when your brain works. Start using data.
Flushing the System
Complete the stress cycle instead of stockpiling it. Monday's cortisol + Tuesday's + Wednesday's = Friday's inexplicable meltdown over a Slack message.
Funny Motivated
Create psychological distance when your brain collapses into catastrophe. It's hard to maintain catastrophic dignity while your brain plays the Chicken Dance.
The Now Protocol
Turn identity into action without overwhelm. Find your North Star, then translate it to the one thing you can do right now. Reactor brains don't fail at vision — they fail at translation.
Three Crashes. One Cause.
Maya
Senior VP. 47 rehearsals. Brain blanked mid-presentation in front of 17 people. Walked out. Sat in her car for 40 minutes composing the perfect apology email.
JT
Teacher with ADHD. Made a traumatized kid laugh for the first time in 3 weeks — then got called "too much" for the 12th time that year.
Derek
Management consultant. Presented a flawless plan to a Fortune 500 company Tuesday. Full panic attack over a broken coffee maker Wednesday.
About the Author
PJ Levingston
PJ wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until his 40s — several years after a semi-truck nearly killed him. He'd fallen asleep at the wheel during his 104-mile daily commute (each way) because that's what happens when you run a nuclear reactor brain on solar panel protocols.
After being literally hit by a Mack truck, he studied ADHD, stress physiology, and cognitive psychology. He coached hundreds of professionals hitting the same walls — executives, teachers, attorneys, entrepreneurs whose brains produced extraordinary output when conditions were right and crashed spectacularly when they weren't.
He still forgets to eat breakfast. He still has bad weeks. But he catches it in hours now, not months. That's the whole point.
