So, I can plan?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are an adult with ADHD, planning and prioritizing may not be your strong suit. But it is possible to strengthen these muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is no easy answer or one right way to do this, the key is to<strong> review and plan on a regular basis, weekly and daily<\/strong>.

That is, you will be more proactive, rather than reactive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can think of others that are not listed, please share!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Project Planning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to break down your projects into discrete steps. You can read more about how to do this in my article, <a href=\"https:\/\/marlacummins.com\/stage2026\/adhd-projects-method\/\">Work With Your ADHD and Complete Your Projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, as you plan your weeks and days, you will incorporate time to do the tasks from your projects into your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weekly Review and Planning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best practice is to <strong>schedule a regular time during the week<\/strong> during which you will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reflect on the previous week. Note what went well, what was a challenge, and what you can change to make the next week better (best practices).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review your time sensitive \/ scheduled appointments in your calendar. Adjust and\/or confirm appointments, if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decide on your priorities for the next week based on your goals and commitments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify the next step(s) for your projects. Schedule time to do the task(s) associated with the steps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Schedule specific times to accomplish your non-time specific tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other. Your plan for weekly review will include other items specific to your needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Daily Reviewing and Planning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since things change in the course of a week, it is also important to review and plan on a daily basis. Once you establish a regular weekly habit of reviewing and planning, your daily habit will likely not take very long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>best practice<\/strong> is to<strong> set aside the same time every day<\/strong>. During this time, you will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Review your plans and calendar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make any changes based on what you have accomplished and any new information (eg. change in meeting schedule, new work assignment, etc.).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Things Are &#8220;Mushy&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the challenges for many adults with ADHD is being able to decide what to do in any given moment when faced with a list items that have <strong>no immediate deadlines<\/strong> or are <strong>not \u201cmission critical.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using David Allen\u2019s Four Criteria Model can be useful toward this end. By asking the right questions you will be able to <strong>decide where to direct your time and energy<\/strong> in any given moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Context<\/strong> \u2013 In what context do I find myself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I am meeting Tia for lunch, and she just called to tell me that she will be 20 minutes late getting to the restaurant. I have my cell phone and list of calls I need to make. &nbsp;I could call Bob or Dee (If I still have time, I may send a quick text to Kay, too)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time Available<\/strong> \u2013 How much time do I have available?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I think the call to Bob should take about 10 minutes; I think that I have enough time to call him. I am not going to call Dee because I think that call may take \u00bd hour.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Energy Available <\/strong>\u2013 Do I have the capacity to do this right now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It will be a just a friendly call. I am pretty tired, but that is ok.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Priority<\/strong> \u2013 Is this an important task to do right now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It is an important call; I promised I would call him during the work week and it is already Thursday.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you still have to use your own best judgment, using the above questions can help you decide when to do tasks that are not time specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ADDed Perspectives Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you follow the steps above consistently, you will strengthen your reviewing and planning muscle, as well as resist the pull of immediate gratification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, it will take time and practice. You want to get good enough so that you are in the driver\u2019s seat and do what is most important to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need support in doing this, please <a href=\"https:\/\/marlacummins.com\/stage2026\/contact\/\">contact me<\/a>. We can discuss how I can help you become more proactive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you know what is on the horizon?
