ADHD Planner- Large format 8.5 x 11 for Neurodivergent Minds: Undated Daily, Weekly, Monthly Organizer for Adults, Women, Teens, ADHD Student Organizer with Snap-In Dry-Erase Tool, Vegan Leather

Helpful Planner
I love this planner! I’ve been using it since school started this fall and it has really helped me keep organized and on track. I especially like the flexible spaces for writing ideas and the prompts to think about why the big tasks are important and which small tasks will help me accomplish the big tasks. I highly recommend it!

Terrific tool for those who are neurodivergent
What a terrific product! As a mental health counselor I am always looking for tools for my clients with ADHD. This one fits the bill! It is undated, meaning it can be started, stopped and started again with no trouble. It has a monthly calendar and then 4 weekly planning pages before the next monthly calendar. It is clear that the creator of this planner is a clinician as there are things like “reward to myself,” “things to do when I need a break” and a page once a week where a large task can be broken down into smaller and more manageable steps. This planner is clearly based on the research and willbe a huge asset to anyone who is neurodivergent and is looking for a planner just for them. I’ll be recommending it to all my clients.

Sturdy thought-out planner. Worth exploring.
Love the idea behind this. Having custom made my own personal planners from ring binders I can see where the designer is going with this.But this isn’t handmade, this is a giftable hardcover journal. It arrives in a sturdy white box with the company’s dandelion logo, a very clean professional presentation. The planner cover is thick and substantial (see photos) which is great if you’re like me and wind up tossing planners around everywhere, carrying them in purses and bags from place to place. It can also handle the clips I use to hold notes, ideas from everywhere, and sketches to the inside covers. And the hard cover offers a feeling of importance, says my organization is to be respected even as it looks so “extra” lol.I have found working with ring-binders that a spiral binding is a must for me in a planner, I neeeeed to be able to flip it 360°; unfortunately, this spiral binding is already sticking a bit, I’m concerned that in “forcing” this planner to close fully I will stretch or bend the spiral coil’s crimping. Tbc it often closes just fine, but I think it could have used a wider more open coil.To back up, let me add I’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD, but I see it my daughter and myself. We’re both super creative types that work well with structure until we don’t. It’s all got to be fluid and adaptable to us, our own organic organization. Then we both get a lot of kickin’ stuff done.I’m not sure how much I’ll use the prompts in this, I can see their value but know I’ll play with headings like “BORING BUT NECESSARY TASKS” (probably changing it to “THINGS I’LL FEEL GREAT GETTING DONE”), and like “THINGS I CAN DO WHEN I NEED A BREAK” (I’ll probably change it to “FUN THINGS”). I like that there’s blank monthly and weekly options, some months and weeks I really feel the urge to nail things down, to focus in and set a schedule and clear some decks, other times not so much. Often I need to let it go and flow through my “must dos”, returning to my planner when I cycle back. I’m a paradox lol. I like that this planner works with that.I also like the snap-in tab, I’ll for sure use it to hold my place and will probably use it for weekly notes as designed IF I can find a dry erase marker that will clip to the planner AND has an eraser on its end (nothing more frustrating than having to look for those things when I need to jot a reminder WHILE IT’S ON MY MIND!). (Note: This planner does not come with a dry erase marker.) I’d actually like a few of these snap in tabs that are blank for list writing.And I will modify this some physically, I’ll add pockets; I’ll glue sturdy envelopes on the inside covers for small things like important sticky notes or receipts, I’ve needed to do that in almost every planner I’ve ever bought. But it’s all about adapting it to me, right?I’m going to explore this, probably learn more about how things work best for me in the process. I’ll check back in after I’ve worked with this planner awhile. It’s a solid, sturdy, workable base to start with, with pages that are heavy and can take the sharpies, the erasing, the gluing and taping and abuse I give them.Wow, this was long, obviously triggered a flow of thought about organization and planning, which to me is more about exploring and sorting and clarifying. On a side note, a letter was included with this planner inviting those interested to check out the company at Dandelara Designs on FB. In searching I didn’t see any groups but I did find a Dandelara page, it appears to be a new company, perhaps worth supporting ;).

Buy two if you need a full year.
I would say I loved this planner but as I was setting it up for this coming year, I realized that 1, there are only 4 weekly pages between each month, 2 they are not moveable so you can ensure each page is where it needs to be and 3, due to only having weeks between the months, you are missing three weeks so I will need to now by another planner towards the end of the year. Super disappointed and wish this was mentioned in the listing so I could have avoided the purchase. I already started putting all the information into this one though. Just annoyed.
