When this worksheet helps

- The week ended with too many leftovers and no clear restart point.
- You avoid your planner because it has become a guilt list.
- You need a light reset before the next week starts.
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.
My planner has become a guilt list, so I avoid it.
Delete or archive one task you will not do. Trust starts with making the list honest again.
There are too many leftovers to know what still matters.
Choose the three leftovers with a real consequence or value. Everything else can wait in a holding list.
I missed or nearly missed something important this week.
Write the next commitment and the one cue that would have made it visible earlier.
I keep planning a week with no recovery space.
Find one block next week that can stay intentionally empty for catch-up or low energy.
The review itself feels too big to begin.
Set a ten-minute timer and do only delete, move, or date. Stop when the timer ends.

Questions that often block progress
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.
