Planning is hard. If, like me, you have ADHD then it comes with its fair share of challenges. Difficulty seeing time, working memory challenges, and more can make us overplan... or we don't plan at all. So... what's the deal? And are there strategies that can help us find a bit of a better balance? Turns out, there are! And while no singular strategy is perfect or foolproof, these tips can make planning feel a bit easier and a bit more worth it.

I use TickTick for everything and I mean everything - “brush your teeth” and “put on deodorant” and the hard things like “cancel subscription.” And it repeats because if I had to redo it everyday - but it helps me with the planning part. I can drag and drop and on a calendar and plan down the minute so my time blindness comes into focus. And I can gamify it. I do love that you call house keepers an accommodation. It’s not in the budget anymore, but I appreciate that language for when we can do it again.

Very topical for me - I’m trying to get my family’s digital board to be more effective right now. I feel a hyperfixation coming on. Every week I know I should block time to plan the week ahead but executive dysfunction plus weekend side quests normally stand in my way. Anyone have any favorite times to plan?I feel like I need two hours or more per week sometimes. /I’m also sick with sick toddler over here. Stay strong!
