Build Your Box: A DIY Systems Workbook for ADHD Professionals
How long did you use that planner for? How about that new method for time management that helped for about 12 seconds? Will you scream if another person suggests setting a reminder? Hacks aren't called 'solutions' for a reason, fellow ADHDers, because they don't really fix anything.
Instead, build your own systems that you can refresh when they inevitably get boring. This workbook teaches you how to build a sustainable, interconnected system across the six core subsystems of your working life: Executive Functioning, Basic Functioning, Applied Functioning, Emotional Regulation, Relationship Dynamics, and Identity & Beliefs. Using a 7-step method, you’ll diagnose system failures, design bespoke responses, and create a repeatable process to address problems. Whether it’s task paralysis (you can't get started), emotional dysregulation (it's hard to feel emotionally stable), or inconsistent output, this is your sign to try something new.
Key Features:
- Subsystem diagnostics to map your current configuration and identify gaps.
- Reinforcement mapping to uncover how depleted subsystems feed each other’s failures.
- Practical experiments to test and refine your system over time.
- Quarterly review protocol to keep your system provisional and adaptive.
For you if: You’re tired of one-off productivity hacks and want to stop rebuilding from scratch every time the tips and tricks don't work.
