Focus Flow


Focus Flow — one printed page that helps an adult with ADHD pick one thing and actually start it today. Not a system. Not 300 pages. Not another app.

A starting method you print — not a planner you fill.

Eleven undated pages. You pick one thing, cut it down until starting feels almost silly, and start it. Print as many as you like.

The top of the Focus Flow method page: the daily loop — Dump, Choose,
               Shrink, Anchor, Celebrate — each numbered and labelled with the page it is
               done on.

You've bought this before

You have a drawer. In it are the planners that were going to be the one — the undated one, the dotted one, the thick one with the beautiful grid. Three tidy weeks in each, then nothing, then the quiet conclusion that this is a you problem.

It isn't. A planner that needs you to remember it exists was never going to win.

Your brain isn't broken. Your planner just wasn't built for it.

The whole method is one page

Five moves, five minutes a morning, and each one names the page it happens on.

  • Dump — empty your head onto paper. On: Brain Dump.
  • Choose — one thing. If only that gets done, the day counts. On: Daily Focus.
  • Shrink — cut the rest to three priorities, not thirteen. On: Daily Focus.
  • Anchor — loose blocks, not a timetable. Leave gaps. On: Daily Focus.
  • Celebrate — write down one thing that went right. On: Today's Wins.

The loop resets every morning; there's no version you can fall behind on. Every move is a named method simplified to fit on paper — Eat That Frog, Pomodoro, the two-minute rule, implementation intentions, point of performance — and the page credits each.

What's actually inside

Page 3, The Method: five moves in a row — Dump, Choose, Shrink, Anchor,
                   Celebrate — with the page each one is done on printed underneath.

The Method

The whole system on one page: five moves, each labelled with the page it's done on. Nothing to set up, nothing to design, no deciding where to begin. This page is the entire method.

[ЗАГЛУШКА — СНИМОК НЕ СДЕЛАН]

Разворот 2 (Break It Down, стр. 4 PDF) заблокирован дефектом Д2: на странице два одинаковых блока «THE BIG TASK → 6 шагов → START WITH 2 MIN». Проверено рендером 150 dpi 2026-09-11 — дубль на месте.

Снимать нельзя, пока владелец не решит: два блока осознанно (тогда нужна подпись «two tasks, two blocks» от Копирайтера) или второй убирается. См. 16_brief_tech.md.

Break It Down

For the task that's too big to start. Write it in your own words, cut it into steps under fifteen minutes, then copy the smallest into the box marked "start with 2 min". That's the only step you owe today.

Page 5, Can't Start: six moves for being stuck — move first, two-minute
                   version, body double, ten-minute timer, say it out loud, lower the bar —
                   and two lines at the bottom, the one I'm picking and I'll start at.

Can't Start?

Six moves for being stuck at zero — move first, two-minute version, body double, ten-minute timer, say it out loud, lower the bar. Pick one, write a real clock time. Ready is a feeling that turns up afterwards.

Page 7, Daily Focus filled in by hand: one thing written at the top,
                   some boxes ticked and some left empty, a mood circled in the middle of
                   the row.

Daily Focus, filled in

A real Tuesday, printed as its own page: one thing done, two boxes left unticked, mood somewhere in the middle. Nothing on it is impressive. That's the point.

There's nothing here to burn down

Every page is undated. You write the date, or you don't. Skip Tuesday and Tuesday isn't wasted — it's a blank page waiting for whichever day you come back on.

The habit tracker has no streaks. You fill a box on days you show up, and missed days are just missed days. No page in this file keeps score of how consistent you've been.

Come back after a month and there's nothing to catch up on. Open it, pick one thing, do it.

You never sit in front of a blank field

The last one didn't stall on page four because of the design. It stalled on an empty box and no idea what belongs in it.

So under every field there's one line saying what goes there: "three, not thirteen", "rough anchors, not a schedule", "it's fine if these never get ticked". And a whole page shows a day filled in, so you see the finished version before you write a word.

Eleven pages is the point

"300+ pages, everything you could ever want" is the exact thing you bought last time. It didn't fail for missing something. It failed because opening it meant choosing where to begin, every single time.

Eleven pages, and not one of them is there to be skipped. Nothing to decide about, no filler to flip past on the way to the part that works.

About your phone

Keep it. Your phone remembers things for you and it's good at it. Paper is for the other job — choosing the one thing and getting it out of your head. They're not competing.

Who this is for

This is for you if:

  • you've bought planners and dropped them before
  • a list never tells you where to start
  • "ADHD planner" products overwhelm you by themselves
  • you want structure without designing it
  • one missed week ends the whole thing

This isn't for you if:

  • you want 300 pages of everything
  • you want a PDF with typing fields, or an app
  • you want a dated day-per-page diary
  • you need reminders — paper doesn't do those
  • you already have a system you use

What you get

Four PDFs, straight after payment.

Two to print — US Letter and A4, yours to print as often as you want, forever.

Two digital editions, same two sizes — not the printable file in another folder, but a hyperlinked one. Every page has a tab strip at the bottom, so any page is one tap away, and a STUCK? button jumps straight to Can't Start?. They open in GoodNotes, Notability or any PDF app.

Nothing arrives in the post.

One price, four files. The method on one page, the filled-in example, two printable editions in US Letter and A4, and two digital editions with tabs on every page. Print them as often as you like, for as long as you like. 14-day refund.

Straight answers

"I'll abandon this one too."

Honest answer: you might. That's why there's nothing here to abandon — no dates, no streaks, no debt piling up while you're away. Come back in a month, open it, pick one thing, do it. Nothing is waiting to be explained.

"How is this better than a notebook or Canva?"

A notebook makes you design it first, and designing it is the fun part that eats the whole evening. Here the decisions are already made: what goes in each field, in what order, and one page showing it all filled in.

"Why only eleven pages?"

Because "300 pages" is the reason the last one is in a drawer. There isn't a single page in here you're meant to skip.

"What if I miss a month?"

Nothing happens. The pages aren't dated, the tracker has no streaks, and missed days stay missed days.

"Is this a treatment for ADHD?"

No. It's a planning tool. It is not a medical or therapeutic product.

"Can I use it on an iPad?"

Yes — GoodNotes, Notability or any PDF app. The printable US Letter and A4 versions come with it either way.

"What exactly do I get?"

Four PDFs, immediately after payment, printable as many times as you like.
