How to select the best planner for busy adults with ADHD

from Overcoming Distractions-Thriving with ADHD, ADD

If you are currently surrounded by Post-Its or sticky notes, you're going to want to hang out through this whole episode because this one is for you. We are talking about some of the best practices for planning, especially in the workplace and how to select a planner that works with you and for you. There are many working parts to productivity and one of them is planning. Some of us are good at planning and then do not execute. Some of us execute without planning. If we slow down and plan out several aspects of our career and home life, it's going to make life much easier for us. And as is common in the ADHD world, what works for you may not work for others. Such as the type of planner you use. Grace Koelma is the author of the ADHD Focus Friend, the future ADHD digital planner and she is the host of the podcast your ADHD besties. Grace and Dave start with one of the biggest challenges for adults with ADHD and that is our struggle with planning. That is planning simple tasks or planning more long term projects. ***Other questions that Grace and Dave discuss during the podcast: Is there some resistance to structure when it comes to effective planners, journals and even task management systems? Does the interesting thing… take control over the important thing? Why do we abandon planners and journals? Are we impatient, get frustrated easily? Do many just not work with our brain? How do we get ourselves to slow down to plan appropriately? Learn more about Grace's planners, podcast and more at her website. https://futureadhd.com/ **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?
