The ADHD Brain's Best Friend: Why the Abundantly More Daily Planner Gets You
Let's be honest—if you have ADHD, you've probably tried approximately 47 different productivity systems, bought 23 planners that are now collecting dust, and downloaded every task management app known to humankind. (Don't worry, we've all been there, and those apps are judging none of us.)
But here's the thing: most planners are designed by people whose brains work in straight lines. You know, those mythical creatures who can "just focus" and "simply prioritize." Meanwhile, your ADHD brain is more like a browser with 67 tabs open, three of which are playing music, and you're not sure which ones.
Why Traditional Planners Don't Work for ADHD Brains
Traditional planners assume you'll remember to open them. (Bold assumption.) They're often overwhelming, with tiny spaces that make you feel like a failure when you can't fit your chaotic thoughts into a 1-inch square. Plus, they rarely account for the fact that your brain might hyperfocus on organizing your sock drawer instead of doing the actual important thing you wrote down.
The ADHD experience is real: You'll spend two hours making the perfect color-coded system, feel like a productivity goddess for about 15 minutes, and then never look at it again. It's not you—it's the planner.
Enter: The Abundantly More Daily Planner
This isn't your neurotypical friend's planner. The Abundantly More Daily Planner was designed with actual human brains in mind—especially the beautifully chaotic ADHD ones.
Here's Why It Actually Works:
1. It breaks things down into bite-sized pieces
Your ADHD brain loves novelty and quick wins. This planner doesn't overwhelm you with massive to-do lists that make you want to take a nap just looking at them. Instead, it helps you focus on what matters TODAY. Not next week. Not in some hypothetical future where you're a morning person. Just today.
2. It builds in grace (because you're human)
Didn't finish everything? That's okay! This planner doesn't shame you with unchecked boxes glaring at you like tiny disappointments. It helps you reflect, adjust, and move forward without the guilt spiral that usually leads to abandoning productivity systems altogether.
3. It makes space for your whole life
ADHD brains don't separate "work" and "life" into neat little boxes. Everything feels equally urgent (or equally boring). The Abundantly More Daily Planner gets that. It helps you plan your whole day—including the random bursts of creativity, the need for breaks, and yes, even that thing you keep forgetting to do.
4. It's designed to actually USE
No fancy systems that require a PhD to understand. No overwhelming layouts that make your eyes glaze over. Just a simple, effective structure that works with your brain instead of against it.
Real Talk: How to Use It (Without Abandoning It Next Week)
Start small. You don't need to fill out every section perfectly. Pick one or two things that feel manageable today. That's it. You're not trying to become a different person—you're just trying to get through Thursday without forgetting three important things.
Use it as a brain dump. ADHD brains are constantly buzzing with thoughts. Use your planner to get them OUT of your head so you can actually focus. Doesn't matter if it's messy—just get it on paper.
Celebrate the small wins. Did you remember to eat lunch? Write it down and give yourself credit. ADHD productivity isn't about doing ALL the things—it's about doing SOME things and not beating yourself up about the rest.
Keep it visible. Out of sight = out of mind. Put your planner somewhere you'll actually see it. On your desk, by your coffee maker, taped to your forehead—whatever works.
The Bottom Line
If you have ADHD, you don't need another planner that makes you feel like you're failing at life. You need one that understands how your brain actually works—one that celebrates progress over perfection, flexibility over rigidity, and real life over Instagram-worthy productivity.
The Abundantly More Daily Planner is that planner. It's like having a supportive friend who gently reminds you what you're working on without making you feel like garbage when life gets lifey.
So if you're tired of fighting your brain and ready to work WITH it instead, give it a try. Your future self (the one who actually remembers to return that library book) will thank you.
Ready to finally find a productivity system that sticks? Check out the Abundantly More Daily Planner and start working with your ADHD brain instead of against it.
