The ADHD-Friendly Daily Planner — Low-Pressure Structure That Actually Gets Used
Six printable pages, built on the opposite rules to a normal planner.
What is deliberately missing:
• No streaks or chains. A broken streak is why people quit. There is nothing here to break.
• No numbered day grid. A row of empty boxes is a record of the days you did not manage.
• No hourly schedule, because hourly grids assume you know what time you will start.
• No three priorities. Three priorities is a list wearing a hat.
What is here instead:
• Today: one thing, time anchors rather than times, a done list, and a parking lot for thoughts that try to steal you mid-task
• Brain dump, then three boxes: do it now, pick a day, not mine
• Stuck on one thing: breaks the avoided task down to an absurdly small first step, with a ten minute timer rule
• A loose week with no dates, so it starts whenever you print it
• Reset, for after a bad week, with no catching up and no filling in gaps
• Things that went well, in any order, with no dates and nothing to break
Large targets, few items per page, one calm colour. Letter size, prints on A4 with fit to page, and designed for black and white.
A blank page is not a failure. It is a blank page. Print another one.
