The ADHD Focus Planner

The ADHD Focus Planner works with your brain, not against it.
Designed to forgive gaps, honor pauses, and welcome restarts. Because consistency isn't about perfection.

This planner exists because someone with ADHD got tired of tools that didn't work for their brain. Rooted in neuroscience research on executive function and motivation.
You can review a compiled list of all supporting studies and sources here, and explore our in-depth blog posts discussing the science behind the ADHD Focus Planner here.
Instead of forcing your brain into rigid systems, it adapts to how you actually think and work. With a library of specialized templates and continuous improvements, it's designed to grow with you, not gather dust.

I really like this planner. It has a lot of features but doesn't feel cluttered because everything's organized through links. Works great on my iPad with GoodNotes, pretty intuitive.

What really surprised me is it actually works with my ADHD brain instead of making me feel like I'm failing. I don't feel pressure to fill every box perfectly, just focus on what matters that day.

My brain feels quieter, tasks feel manageable, and I'm following through on stuff. Wild. Didn't think something this simple would make a real difference, but here we are.

Planning used to stress me out more than it helped. I'd dump everything into one giant list and just stare at it feeling paralyzed.

This planner breaks things down in a way that actually makes sense. Daily stuff, weekly goals, bigger picture, without the chaos. I'm way more aware of my time now and not constantly panicking about forgetting things.

Also, shout out to the Outline team. Super helpful when I had questions.

Bought this after giving up on planners completely. Full "I'm just not a planner person" mode. Turns out I just needed one that wasn't designed for people whose brains work in straight lines lol.

This helps me stay focused without feeling trapped. And I don't spiral when I miss a day, which is huge. It's flexible enough that I can come back without feeling like I've ruined everything.

My routines are way more consistent now, I actually know my priorities instead of just vibing and hoping, and I'm not in constant catch-up mode. Honestly one of the most useful things I've added to my life.

This is not an app. It’s a custom-designed PDF with interactive, hyperlinked layers. When imported into an annotation app such as Goodnotes, Notability, Xodo, Samsung Notes, or Remarkable 2, it functions much like an app. Some setup is required (easy and quick), but if you need help, contact us and we’ll walk you through the installation process step by step.

While it isn’t specifically designed for children, many of the templates are suitable for all ages and can be especially useful for teens.

Both the digital and printable planners are provided as PDF files, so the digital planner can technically be printed. However, its page dimensions are optimized for tablet use, which means it may not fit standard paper sizes or produce the best print quality. If you plan to print frequently, we recommend purchasing the print version instead.
The printable version is offered in both Letter and A4 sizes, depending on your preference.

This planner was created to work with the way ADHD brains actually function. Instead of forcing rigid systems, it offers flexible, research-informed tools that explain the “why” behind each section.

With hundreds of customizable pages, guided tutorials, a shame-free approach, and lifetime updates included, the planner is designed to support neurodivergent users in building systems that feel sustainable, supportive, and realistic.
