Planning with ADHD: Five Gentle Strategies

Everyone’s brain works differently, so treat these as ideas to try, not rules. They are general planning tips, not medical advice.

1. Keep it visible. Leave your planner open on your desk.
2. Plan in small steps. Break big tasks into the very next action.
3. Limit the list. Three priorities a day is plenty.
4. Use colour and symbols. They help you scan quickly.
5. Be kind to yourself. A missed day is just a blank space, and an undated planner makes that easy.
