When this worksheet helps

Professionals with ADHD who leave meetings with vague action items or lose the thread after context switching.

  • Meetings create decisions but the follow-through disappears.
  • You need a capture ritual before switching into the next call.
  • Action items are spread across chat, notes, memory, and email.

Different stuck points need different moves

Practical starting paths

Open the situation closest to yours. These examples are options, not answers that are inserted into your worksheet.

We talked, but I cannot tell what I am supposed to do next.

Write one action as a visible verb with an object: draft the outline, send the file, or ask the question.

No one clearly owns the next step.

Write the owner’s name beside the smallest next action. If it is unclear, write the question you need to ask.

The next meeting is starting and I will lose this context.

Take sixty seconds to capture one decision and the next action before joining the next thing.

I can see a blocker but have not named it.

Write the blocker and one person, document, or decision that could move it.

Follow-up messages and dates keep disappearing.

Write a short follow-up sentence and give it one date or calendar cue before you leave this page.

Questions that often block progress

Common questions

When should I fill this out?

Use it in the final two minutes of a meeting or immediately after, before another context switch wipes out the details.

What if the meeting has no clear decision?

Write the open question and owner. Capturing uncertainty is better than pretending the next step is obvious.
