ADHD brain dump & done list
Three things a day and a list of what you actually got done, the rest of the day as open dots to empty your head onto, focus blocks, stars that add up instead of streaks to break, and a dopamine menu for when you're stuck.
ADHD brains, and anyone who plans in bursts and loses the thread.
Order as is goes straight to the order form, where you choose the days, binding and address and see the price before you pay. Change it first opens the whole book in the editor. No account needed for either.
Front pages
A dopamine menu, what to do when you're stuck, someday and maybe, things not to forget, a dotted brain dump and your projects.
- Dopamine MenuA menu of things that lift your mood, by size: quick starters, bigger mains, and desserts to save for a treat. Something to choose from instead of scrolling.
- When I'm Stuck (questions)When I'm Stuck: make it tiny, the first two minutes; change where I am; who I can work beside; and what I'm really avoiding, with lines to answer.
- Someday / MaybeIdeas and projects you are not doing yet but do not want to lose. The Someday/Maybe list comes from David Allen's Getting Things Done.
- Don't Forget (note box)A box headed Don't Forget, ruled with lines, to write in.
- Brain DumpAn open box to empty your head into before you plan. Get everything down first, then sort it into lists.

Every day

- Daily Big 3The three tasks that would make today a good day if they got done, numbered so the first comes first.
- Done ListA ruled list of what you finished, written down as you finish it. A record of what the day did hold, for the days a to-do list makes it look like nothing happened.
- Tomorrow (note box)A box headed Tomorrow, ruled with lines, to write in.
- Focus BlocksTen flames for the day. Fill one in for each block of focused work, such as 25 minutes with a short break after.
- If There's Time (checklist)Rows with a box to tick. Placed across several days, it becomes one list per day.
