ADHD Task Breakdown

Use these when one job feels too big to start. There is no calendar here, no dates, weeks or time grid; each sheet is about one job or one list. On the Step sheet (page 3) you name the job, say what done means, add a deadline, and write a first step small enough to begin within two minutes. Twelve numbered steps follow, every one with a Guess minutes cell, a Real minutes cell and a tick box. Big job in four parts splits something larger into blocks with a Waiting on line. Guess against real minutes has 24 lines and a closing ratio of your real time to your guessed time. What is stuck has 13 lines. Page 2 shows a fictional hall closet job. It is 6 pages, planning pages only.

Questions

Is there a calendar in it?

No. If you want day or week pages, this shop has separate ADHD daily and weekly planners.

How many step sheets do I get?

As many as you print. Type 3 in the Pages box and the number you want in the Copies box.

What do I do with the number on page 5?

If Total real divided by Total guess is 1.5, your tasks took one and a half times your guess. You can use it for your next guess, or ignore it.

Can I type in it?

No. It is a flat PDF for printing and writing by hand.
