ADHD-Friendly Productivity Systems
Put what is in your head where you can see it: boards, circles and trackers on paper or screen.
Lists in apps and notebooks disappear as soon as you close them. A plan that stays visible has a better chance of being used. This deck shows how to build one and gives you layouts to copy.

This is a ready-to-use, editable PowerPoint deck of about 50 slides on visual planning for adults with ADHD. It introduces the ADHD Board, four design principles, a five-component system, a 24-Hour Time Circle and three worked examples with templates. It suits adults with ADHD, students, creators, coaches and trainers.
The opening argues that standard systems are an engineering mismatch for the ADHD brain and presents Russell Barkley's idea of externalising executive functions. Chapter 1 reviews key executive function challenges and the pull of novelty. Chapter 2 introduces the ADHD Board, a visual organisation system, and the benefits of planning visually.
Chapter 3 gives four design principles: externalise information, use visual time anchors, keep structure gentle and elastic, and write stimulus-aware prompts. Chapter 4 shows a five-component system, including a brain dump habit, behavioural tracking, the 24-Hour Time Circle drawn on an index card, and timeboxing with buffers.
Chapter 5 is a six-step implementation guide, from assessing pain points and choosing tools to designing your board (with a basic ADHD Board layout), adding time and tracking habits, and refining the system. Chapter 6 shows how it looks for a student's visual study planner, a creator's content pipeline and a professional's weekly overview, with a Weekly Time Circle Planner and an ADHD Task Tracker template. Hurdles, resources and a seven-day plan close the deck.
