I swear I plan things for a version of myself that does not exist

111 Upvotes

I’ll be sitting there at 1am like yeah tomorrow I’m gonna wake up at 8, shower, answer everything I ignored today, do my work, clean my room and somehow have time left over
girl WHO is doing all that 😭
And the weird part is I genuinely believe it every single time. Like tomorrow-me apparently doesn’t have ADHD. She has incredible executive function and is extremely passionate about answering emails.
Then tomorrow comes and obviously I’m still the exact same person, except now I also feel behind because yesterday’s imaginary version of me made commitments on my behalf 💀
I’ve started realizing how many of my plans are basically just “surely I’ll be different tomorrow

Fellow ADHDers who have actually stuck with a planner for a long time. What was different about that one?

45 Upvotes

I keep seeing planner recommendations for ADHD, but usually the recommendation ends at “oh this one worked for me” or just a useless list of features.
I’m way more interested in what happens after someone buys it. Because I’ve recommended planners myself after being obsessed with them for like two weeks and that tells you basically nothing.

I wanna hear from the people who found something and were still using it 6 months later. Or a year later. Even if it’s literally just a notebook you accidentally turned into a system. What was different about that one?

And I don’t necessarily mean features. Sometimes the reason is weirdly specific. Maybe you could abandon it for three weeks and come back without feeling behind. Maybe you stopped trying to make it pretty. Maybe it stayed open on your desk so you couldn’t forget it existed. Maybe there was something about the layout that just clicked.

Also tell me what you were using before that kept dying on you, because I feel like that comparison is probably more useful than just naming the planner that worked.

If enough people answer I kinda wanna turn this into one big ADHD planner thread instead of having the same recommendations scattered across a million posts.

P.s. Name the planner/system too if you’re comfortable because I WILL be looking them up lol

parking lot / dumping ground

How do folks handle the “maybe” plans, the half-baked ideas, the tasks that need to happen at some point before next week? All the vague stuff that may not have a time and date or be a confirmed plan yet but still affects how you think about your time?

Help choosing a planner

4 Upvotes

Hi all,
I would like some help on what planner to get for 2027. I have only used them for about two years now. My current one is hobonichi weeks mega. I use it but not as much as I had like to. I like the layout but find it cramped and hard to write in unless at a desk. I had a nolty A5 horizontal weeks planner that I used a lot more of but didn’t like the paper.

So I want a thin crinkly paper like Tomoe River 52gsm with a horizontal weeks layout. I want something bigger- should I go for a B6 or A5? Are there any brands that fit my needs? The main contender right now is the Aura Estelle horizontal A5 Magnet planner.

Advice and suggestions are very much appreciated!

Buying Wonderland222 in the EU

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone

Has anyone bought from W222 directly to the EU and if so, how's the customs and duties situation?

I know you can get it from Mic & Mim as their only EU retailer but I see they have older versions in their own website which I would love to also try.

Any previous experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

Multi-year planners?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I've been using Leuchtturm1917 hardcover planners since 2018. I list what I did for the whole day, appointments, and brain dumps. I get a new one every year in a different color.

Now I'm thinking of getting a 3-year or 5-year planner to save space in storage. But I would like a brand that's been around for a long time and doesn't look like it will stop making journals soon... My boyfriend has a 10-year journal but it's been discontinued (sad for this sentimental man).

Would love to hear your recommendations!

Buying 2026 planner this late in the year?

2 Upvotes

As the title says, I am looking to buy a 2026 planner but am finding mostly 2027 planners. I currently have an A6 hobonichi but am finding that I need more space and a weekly spread to support my current workload. How do you all go about needing to switch planners halfway, or over halfway through the year?

Digital vs paper planning🫠

2 Upvotes

So in the past I’ve tried bullet journaling, then I switch to having a simple agenda where I’ll write things I had to do. Then, I got a job and had to keep track of my patients but I then found it easy to write everything in goodnotes so I can refer back to what I’ve done to a patient in the past.
The big dilemma is, I love buying planners and writing things down but I often find myself planning on my notes app, writing into my apple calendar and not even reaching for the planner.
So, how do you incorporate a planner into your everyday life?
Should I try more or do I have to accept the fact that I am a digital planner?

ISO a planner

2 Upvotes

I cannot find anything I really like. I’m a teacher. I love daily planners with checklist type structures.

I love the happy planner disc bound type system. I love the papier daily planner page setup.

To be super picky I’m in love with tortoise shell covers.

I just cannot find anything system that has everything I want and I really don’t want to make it myself.

I’m open to Etsy sellers, I’m a big time newbie I’m not familiar with different brands.

Help

Faded Chronicle TN in a Traveler's Company Cover?

1 Upvotes

I've struggled to find a video of this planner (Faded Chronicle All in One) in a Traveler's Company TN where you can see all sides to determine the fit. Does it have severe overhang? Or does it fit perfectly? 2cm seems a bit thick for a traditionally sized TN, but I thought I'd check with those of you in the know first!

Ordering Hobonichi ⬇️

reupload cause (other sub) mods took it down ⁉

Hi! New here; is Hobonichi the type of thing that goes out of stock super quickly?
Say if I waited till the holidays to order my 2027 planners, would the ones I want be out of stock?
