About this ebook

An informative and beautiful productivity workbook designed for the neurodivergent brain, backed by science and filled with tools for shame-free organization

Life with ADHD can be a wild ride. With a million creative thoughts pinging around, organizing the chaos can feel impossible, leading to the frustration of a long list of half-finished projects and nothing to show for it. Traditional planners leave ADHDers feeling even worse about themselves—with rigid, monotonous systems that are hard to keep up with.

But what if the daydreaming, hyperfocus, and inconsistency just require a different approach? Enter The ADHD Focus Friend—a new kind of productivity workbook designed to help you embrace your unconventional mind, sort through the mental clutter, and find a path to clarity. Filled with evidence-based insights and advice, as well as pages from the phenomenally popular Future ADHD digital planner, this highly anticipated book will show you that being aligned with who you are and what you need on a physiological level trumps any productivity hack out there.

No matter what your story is, The ADHD Focus Friend offers you a safe place where your brain makes sense—a way to reframe your struggles, un-shame your past, and learn to work with your neurodivergent brain.

Features include:
  • Digestible science-based explainers on hyperfocus, rejection sensitivity, procrastination, motivation, and more
  • Daily, undated planner pages with a gentle approach backed by psychologists
  • Self-care activities to help you reflect and reset
  • A template toolbox featuring the most popular pages from the Future ADHD planner
  • Fun stickers for extra novelty and dopamine

Bright, beautiful, and strengths-focused, The ADHD Focus Friend is the self-paced life organizer you’ve been looking for—designed to destigmatize ADHD, help you use inconsistency to your advantage, and be kind to yourself.

"Dein ADHS Buddy" ist auf insgesamt 240 Seiten in folgende Kapitel unterteilt: Teil1: "ADHS erklärt", "Emotionale Regulation", "Hallo Nervensystem", "Ziele setzen neu gedacht"; Teil 2: "Dein Fokus-Tagesplaner", "Deine Vorlagen- Toolbox". Meiner Meinung nach ist ADHS wie ein Trend, alle wollen es haben. Und auch früher in der Schule wurden alle "unruhigeren" Kinder von den Medizinern mit ADS/ADHS abgestempelt und oft mit Medikamenten ruhig gestellt. Dennoch finde ich dieses Thema mit den menschlichen Verhaltensmustern interessant. Die Illustrationen decken sich wunderbar mit dem Schreibstil. Es ist optisch sehr ansprechend und gar nicht überladen. Alles wirkt frisch, modern und ansprechend. Auch Tipps, Beispiele und Kritzelplatz werden hier berücksichtigt. Inhaltlich werden Themen angesprochen wie Unterschiede zwischen divergent und konvergent. Wenn auch ohne wissenschaftliche Belege, aber plausibel, einfach und für uns Laien mehr als ausreichend! Ich habe einiges gelernt. Vieles passt erstaunlich gut zu einem, aber als Skeptiker bezweifle ich auch, dass es nicht einfach nur Charakterzüge oder vllt. etwas anderes geht. Wie auch immer- es ist weder eine Enzyklopädie zum Psychologiestudium, noch die Bravo- aber es hilft sich selbst und andere besser zu verstehen. Ab Teil 2 geht es um Gedächtnisstützen, Tagesplaner etc., die man ausprobieren kann. Es sind ca 80 Seiten. Vieles halte ich für Quatsch z.B. den "Paket Tracker" oder die "Liste für neue Freunde". Insgesamt für das anschauliche Wissen, was weder 0815 noch veraltet ist und für die Tipps eine klare Weiterempfehlung.
