Let the habits you already have launch the new ones, so you rely less on memory and willpower.
Habits that depend on remembering are fragile when working memory is unreliable. A stack ties each new action to something you already do, which is a simpler thing to design and to teach. This deck gives you the method, the examples and the worksheets in one place.

This is a ready-to-use, editable PowerPoint deck of about 50 slides on habit stacking for ADHD. It covers anchors, tiny habits and the 'After I, I will' formula, with example stacks for students, professionals and creators and a stack builder template. It suits adults with ADHD, coaches and trainers.
The first two chapters make the case: why traditional systems struggle, a short look at the neuroscience, and the cost of missed deadlines and lost time. Chapter 2 introduces habit stacking through the 'piggybacking' idea, a day built on stacks and the cue, response and reward loop behind it.
Chapter 3 is the five-step framework. You identify anchors, define new habits so small they feel almost embarrassingly easy, write the stack with the formula 'After I [current habit], I will [new habit]', make the cue visible and accessible, and favour consistency over intensity. Chapter 4 then shows stacks for students, professionals and creators, with a before and after comparison.
Advanced slides cover the spoon theory of energy, micro-scheduling, sensory anchors, body doubling and a bailout plan for when procrastination wins. You'll find a four-column Daily Stack Builder, a digital version, a progress tracker, a five-step personal action plan with weekly review questions, and a closing slide that asks for one stack in two minutes.

Teach the five-step framework in one sitting, then let people write their first three stacks on the Daily Stack Builder slide.
Use the academic success stacks on slide 21 as a starting point and ask each student to swap in their own anchors.
Identify three anchors, build one stack each, and use the weekly review questions on slide 41 after seven days.
Download the deck instantly, open it in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides and adapt the stacks to your own routine. The final slide asks for one habit stack in two minutes, so you can start the moment you finish.
