🧠 The Perfect Planner for ADHD? Let’s Talk Time Systems That Actually Work
If you’ve ever thought this planner is going to change my life... only to abandon it weeks later, you are not alone!

Today, we’re diving into the REAL reason planners often don’t work for ADHD brains—and what to do instead. In this video, I walk you through:

✔️ The 3 essential parts of an ADHD-friendly time system
✔️ Why your brain shouldn't be your to-do list
✔️ How to use a dump list without drowning in it
✔️ The importance of retrieval (not just collection)
✔️ What to do with “boomerang tasks” that come back later
✔️ And why it’s 100% okay to switch up your planner (really!)

I’ll also share how I personally use my system—weekly planning, daily focus, and energy management—to stay ahead of chaos, without running myself into the ground.
