The Anti-Planner: How to Get Sh*t Done When You Don't Feel Like It - Creative ADHD Planner Alternative for Adults, women, kids, teens, 100+ Productivity Tools to Beat Procrastination, Burnout Stress & Anxiety

I had this sitting in my cart forever. I wanted it, but couldn’t justify the price—until I hit a wall with my productivity, felt stuck at work, and kept letting deadlines slide. I was frustrated with myself and couldn’t figure out why I was self-sabotaging. That’s when I finally hit “buy.” And wow… I’m so glad I did.Within a day, I’ve already done something I haven’t done in ages—writing this review. I thought this was just another yearly planner (which made the price sting more), but it’s not. It’s a one-time purchase that gives you tools and strategies to get your brain moving—for the long haul. I’ve only done a few exercises so far, but it’s already helping me trick my ADHD brain into action—using music, games, and playful prompts that actually work instead of shaming you into productivity.Now, the only downside: this thing smells. Like chemicals. Strongly. I’ve had it for a full day and the odor hasn’t gone away yet. I’m hoping it fades soon, because right now, it’s hard to ignore. That said, I’m still giving it five stars because the content is that good.I’m planning to buy more copies for friends who also struggle with ADHD and executive dysfunction. If you’re tired of planners that assume you’re a robot, this one gets it.

I am an adult with ADHD. I’ve had it my entire life. It’s not an excuse, it’s not a curse, it’s not a blessing… it just is what it is. It’s the way my brain works. For the past 5 years, I have really struggled to stay on task (probably due to the part of my brain that can only focus when it is having fun, or under immense stress). So I would try to come up with ways to make things more fun. I have bought many ADHD books… you might be shocked to learn that I haven’t actually read most of them, because, well… yeah. I ran across this title on Amazon while I was looking for a different ADHD book. I had never heard of this book, but the name interested me. I was a bit taken aback by the high price point, but impulsivity got the best of me and I got the book.First of all, the book just looks fun. It looks like a planner, but it is totally not a planner. It is full of drawings and color and even starts with a little story. The book is organized by symptoms so that you can reference a certain section based on the struggle you are having at that moment. You do not need to read it cover to cover. This book is basically a treasure trove of brain hacks for ADHDers… a book with a bunch of strategies to convince your brain to do the adult things by tricking it into thinking the boring thing is kind of fun. It is PACKED full of different ideas. I would guess there are 100-150 ideas in this book. Of course, you are not going to like all of them- some of them I skimmed right over…But there were about 10 that I loved. And there were 3 I did right away. And there was one that has ALREADY changed my life. Now I don’t think it would be fair to the author to tell what exactly I learned (sharing information for free), but I can say it was something I had never heard of, and actually, at first read, I thought it sounded nuts. Like, something only weird people would do. Then I looked in the mirror and remembered. And I did the thing. And I got done AT LEAST 50% more work than I would have if I hadn’t used the strategy. And that was just ONE thing. If I use nothing else out of this book ever (which I doubt!) it would already have been worth what I paid.If you are considering this book, don’t hesitate. It might do for you what it has done for me in just 3 days of owning it.

I've already used this thing three times. As a life long known ADHD person, and a highly motivated person, I am always searching for new techniques to help me be more productive. One technique only lasts for a shirt time. This book gives me many ideas! I am also one who likes to read a book from the beginning. However, I have no issue jumping right to the section I feel fits my current need or issue and finding a suggestion that sounds doable. I've used it at work and home. Also, I have no guilt about forgetting about the book. If I ever lose it, it'll be great to find again. For now, I leave it sitting on my livingroom table. It's a great tool to assist my brain and has a wide variety of suggestions. The fact it usually gives me a short creative project to prep for organization makes my brain happy for the new distraction. Love it!

Great tips! Not a fan of all the people in the book mentioned, but that's okay, it's what inspires you to act on your goals!

MYSELF ON EASIER AND NICER BE TO NEED JUST LAZY NOT I'm KNOW I Now!better much so feel me made has this Omg

This book is my best friend!! Fun to read, fun activities, great ideas that really help!! Sturdy and really well built too! Watch out for the knockoffs! Buy the real thing - it's worth the money! Every penny!! I even went back and bought the pdfs so I could keep using them. Kudos to Dani Donovan for this game-changing book!!

Definitely inferior product. Cover is paper thin and spiral binding is a hot mess. Stick to makers TT store. :(

Nice thick paper. Great color saturation. I am scared to use because I don't want to mess it up.The package was well wrapped. I received in cellophane wrapper but tabs were bent .It looks like tabs were bent prior to wrapping. It's an expensive planner, I started to send back because I want perfection. But we are working on this perfectionistic debilitating attitude.I would love to give as gifts but my friends have save issues about not wanting to mess it up. I'm going to use with eraseable pens.
