Common questions

What should go on an ADHD weekly plan first?

Fixed commitments should go first because they reveal actual capacity. Tasks only become realistic after the calendar is visible.

How is this different from a weekly review?

A weekly review cleans up the old system. A weekly plan chooses the next week's anchors, deadlines, and capacity limits.
