Questions about ADHD daily planning

Why only 3 priorities?

Because ADHD brains overcommit. If you write down 10 tasks, you'll feel behind by noon. Three priorities means you can actually finish your list — and finishing feels incredible. If you get all 3 done and want more, that's bonus momentum.

What's the brain dump section for?

Your brain doesn't stop generating ideas and worries just because you have a plan. The brain dump gives those thoughts a place to go so they stop interrupting your focus. Write anything — grocery items, random ideas, things you remembered. Get them out of your head and onto paper.

How are the time blocks different from a regular planner?

These are 30-minute blocks, not hour blocks. ADHD brains work better in shorter intervals. There's also buffer time built in — because transitions between tasks take longer than neurotypical planners assume.

What if I don't finish everything?

That's expected and okay. The end-of-day section asks 'what worked?' not 'what didn't you finish?' This reframes your day around wins instead of failures. Unfinished tasks roll to tomorrow — no guilt, no red marks.
