Common questions

How long should an ADHD weekly review take?

Twenty minutes is enough for most weeks. If it takes much longer, the review is probably trying to do too many jobs.

What is the most important part?

Clearing or pruning old tasks matters most because it restores trust before the planner becomes emotionally heavy.
