ADHD Reset Planner: A Gentle Digital System for Overwhelm and Burnout
This is not a productivity planner.
This is a reset system for ADHD, burnout, and overwhelm.
Designed for burnout, low energy, and scattered focus.
If traditional planners make you feel behind, guilty, or exhausted, this planner was created for a different moment. The moment when starting feels hard. The moment when your brain feels loud or heavy. The moment when you need something gentle, not demanding.
This ADHD Reset Planner helps you pause, reset, and begin again without pressure.
Who this is for
This planner is for you if you:
• Have ADHD, diagnosed or self-identified
• Feel overwhelmed or burned out

• Need permission to reset instead of catching up
• Want a system that feels calm, minimal, and forgiving
This planner may not be a good fit if you want:
• Decorative or aesthetic planners
• Strict schedules or hourly layouts
• Daily productivity tracking
