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

Life with ADHD can feel like carrying a whole constellation of ideas, responsibilities, and half-finished projects in your head at once. Traditional planners often make that feel worse—rigid, repetitive, and easy to abandon after a few days.

The ADHD Focus Friend offers a different approach. Created by Grace Koelma and rooted in the phenomenally popular Future ADHD digital planner, this self-paced workbook is designed to work with your brain, not against it—helping you sort through mental clutter, honor your values, and set up planning routines that you can actually come back to.

How this workbook supports you

This book combines evidence-based insights, planning tools, and gentle coaching in one place. You can dip in and out, use sections that resonate, and return when your season shifts.

Inside, you’ll find:

• 240 pages of guided prompts, planning tools, and science-backed strategies
• Layouts and exercises designed specifically for ADHD and other neurodivergent brains
• A shame-free, strengths-based approach that treats inconsistency as information—not failure
• Guidance to help you clarify what matters, choose realistic priorities, and follow through in a way that fits your life right now
• Pages adapted from the Future ADHD digital planner, translated into a tactile, analog format

It’s bright, encouraging, and practical—built to meet you where you are on a Tuesday afternoon, not an idealized version of you on January 1.

What you can use it for

Use The ADHD Focus Friend to:

• Capture ideas and tasks before they disappear
• Break projects into steps that feel doable
• Experiment with daily and weekly planning structures that support your routines
• Build awareness of what helps you focus—and what reliably derails you

You can start anywhere, use it alongside digital tools, and return whenever you need a reset.
