Six things that make the planner actually stick. Not a gear list — the shortest set that removes a real obstacle.
Time blindness is the part of ADHD that wrecks planning, and it is the one thing a paper planner cannot fix.

Pair it with the one-thing line on the Week Page: set it, start, stop when it stops.

View on Amazon AU →Open and shallow, not drawers with lids. Out of sight genuinely is out of mind, so storage that hides things creates work later. One tray for what is live this week is enough.
