A planning system designed BY and FOR ADHD brains. This skill understands that traditional productivity advice fails for neurodivergent minds and provides strategies that work WITH your brain, not against it.
ADHD is not a character flaw or lack of willpower. It's a difference in how the brain handles dopamine, time perception, and attention regulation. This skill:
Traditional Planning:
1. Make detailed plan
2. Follow plan
3. Achieve goal
ADHD Reality:
1. Make detailed plan (hyperfocus, feels great)
2. Plan feels constraining by day 2
3. Rebel against own plan
4. Feel guilty about abandoned plan
5. Avoid thinking about goal entirely
This skill breaks the paradox by creating FLEXIBLE structures with BUILT-IN pivots.
What time horizon are we planning?
├── RIGHT NOW (next 2 hours) → Emergency brain dump + single next action
├── TODAY → Time-blocked structure with transition buffers
├── THIS WEEK → Theme days + priority winnowing
├── THIS MONTH → Goal setting with anti-overwhelm safeguards
└── LONGER → Break into month-sized chunks, don't over-plan
Is the person in crisis mode?
├── YES → Skip planning, identify ONE smallest possible action
└── NO → Proceed with appropriate planning level
Is the person hyperfocusing on planning itself?
├── YES → Interrupt! Planning ≠ doing. Set timer, start ONE task.
└── NO → Continue planning support
Take your first estimate. Now:
"5 minutes" → Actually 15-20 minutes
"30 minutes" → Actually 1-1.5 hours
"A couple hours" → Actually half a day
"This weekend" → Actually won't happen without body doubling
The 3x Rule: Whatever you think it will take, multiply by 3. You're not bad at estimating—your brain processes time differently.
