A fillable PDF workbook for ADHD adults · in the works

For the days you can't start.

Not another 900-page planner. A short, fillable workbook with one job: helping you begin — today's task, or the whole thing again after three weeks away. No streaks, no catching up, no lecture.

$14 one-time at launch. Built from 835 public buyer reviews of the planners that didn't work. Nothing is on sale yet — joining commits you to nothing.

Why so many ADHD planners end up abandoned

We read 835 public buyer reviews of five best-selling ADHD planners before designing a single page. Three complaints came up again and again. If you've bought two or three of these and abandoned them all, the reviews suggest it wasn't a discipline problem. It was a design problem.

Navigation is a maze

The single most-mentioned complaint: menus that aren't hyperlinked, files that aren't labelled, tabs that don't work. Products for ADHD brains that demand executive function just to find a page.

Files that won't open

Downloads too big for free apps, multi-step imports, planners that only work on iPad or inside paid software. Buyers describe losing interest before ever writing a word.

900 pages sold as value

Buyers report downloads of 600–1,000 pages and not knowing where to begin. For a brain that struggles with overwhelm, volume isn't generosity — it's the reason the planner gets closed.

Designed as the answer to those reviews

  1. Opens in anything

    One fillable PDF under 15 MB. It opens in free Adobe Reader, your browser, GoodNotes, on desktop or phone — no paid apps, no imports, no account. Page one is a 30-second test: if you can write there, everything works. Print versions (A4 + US Letter) included.

  2. Designed pages, not downloaded ones

    Under 60 pages, in a sequence you can actually follow — one page after the other. It opens with a permission page: you are not supposed to fill in everything. The exact page count is published below, before you pay.

  3. Navigation that does the work for you

    A tappable map organized by mental state — "I can't start", "I'm overwhelmed", "I'm coming back" — a "back to the map" link on every single page, native PDF bookmarks, and a one-page guide inside the PDF. No external tutorial videos, ever.

  4. A real workbook, shown before you buy

    Every page is a fillable exercise — not a "collection of resources". You see the exact page count, the full table of contents and three complete preview pages before spending anything. Every technique inside cites its source.

  5. Built for coming back

    Everything is undated, so a pause costs you nothing. The core module is a 2-minute start protocol for the days you can't begin. And there's a "Welcome back" page designed for returning after weeks away: the pause is normal, you restart from one page. Time-blocking runs in flexible 30-minute blocks — and covers the night, for the night owls.

See exactly what you're buying

Too many buyers report planners that promised 105 pages and delivered 5. So here is the pact: exact page count, full table of contents, and three real pages from inside — published here before launch, before you pay a cent.
