If traditional planners don’t work for you, if you keep making beautiful systems and abandoning them, or if your calendar feels like more pressure than support—this one’s for you.

Planning with an ADHD brain isn’t about more discipline or tighter schedules.

It’s about regulation, rhythm, and return.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why planning feels hard for ADHD brains (time blindness, initiation blocks, working-memory overload)
How to reframe planning as nervous-system support, not control
Tools that actually help: externalizing info, time anchoring, flexible task menus, and co-working
How to design your systems with return paths—because drift is normal
A short reflection to help you reconnect with what matters most this week

💬 “Planning isn’t perfection. It’s a practice—and you’re allowed to start again as many times as you need.”
