The FOCO ADHD weekly planner is a one page printable sheet with seven day rows, three lines per day, and one box at the top for the single thing that matters most this week. The three line cap is the mechanism, because a week that holds twenty one items is a week you will stop […]

The FOCO ADHD daily planner is a one page printable sheet with three priority slots, three rough time blocks, a brain dump area and a short habit strip. It is built for triage rather than planning, which is why it holds three things instead of twenty. Print it, fill in the top three, and if […]

You abandon ADHD planner apps because the thing that made you download one, novelty, is temporary, while the thing that keeps you using it, daily maintenance, is exactly what ADHD makes hard.
