Focus & Inspiration ADHD Planner User Guide
Welcome to your FREE mini-course! This guide walks you through every section of your planner with short, ADHD-friendly videos. Watch them all or just the ones you are stuck on, follow along, or scroll to read the transcripts.
Intro!
I’m still improving this page as I go.
My goal is to help you find the right planner page fast.
For each section, I’m adding:
-
A short video guide.
-
A filled-in example, so you can see how it works in real life.
That takes up some space, so I’ve organized everything as clearly as possible for now.
If something feels confusing, or you have ideas to make this page easier to use, let me know. I’m building this for brains like yours and mine.
Table of Contents
Read the video transcipt here:
Hi everybody, I’m Kim, the founder and creator of MindCastle Creations. On this page, I’m going to take you through all the pages of the ADHD Planner, the Focus & Inspiration Planner. I made this planner because I have ADHD, my son has ADHD, and we have a very spicy household. I just wanted to make life a little bit easier for everybody. Not all pages fit every ADHD brain, we’re not all the same, and that’s okay. Just check which pages connect with you and skip the ones that don’t. No pressure.
My goal is to make everyone’s life a little bit easier. If there are pages you’re unsure about, check the Table of Contents on the side. You can click the name of the page you have questions about, and I’ll have a video for it soon. These videos are short and to the point.
I hope you enjoy the planner! If you do, please leave a review, it really helps my small business. If there’s ever an issue or something wrong with your planner, please reach out. I’ll help you personally and send a replacement if needed.
You can find me on Instagram and TikTok for daily affirmations and the fun stuff. You can also subscribe to my newsletter, I send it once a month with freebies, tips, and fun updates. Welcome to the MindCastle family!
Oh wait, the unboxing!
Here’s the box you’ll receive at home, I already opened it, but this is what it looks like. Inside, you’ll find a thank-you card with a QR code linking to this page and the Amazon review page. If you enjoy your planner, four or more stars would mean the world. If something doesn’t feel right, let me know so I can help.
Now, the planner itself, look how pretty! It’s embossed on the cover, has the logo on the back, and it’s real fabric. You’ll also get a matching ruler that clips in and out easily, so you can always mark your current daily page. Up front, you’ll find tools and tabs to organize your sections. The sticky tabs are attached to the ruler, just write on them and place them wherever you need. They’re flexible, color-coded, and won’t tear easily. Perfect for keeping track of all the different tools in your planner.
Alright, onto the tutorials!
I hope you enjoy this guide, thank you so much for watching. Bye!
(Mental) Health Pages
Okay, so first up are the mental health pages.
You don’t have to use these every day, or even at all if you don’t feel like it.
They’re here for the moments when you need a little extra support or a safe space to unload your thoughts.
Some days you’ll skip them, and that’s totally fine.
Other days they’ll be your lifeline.
Use them how and when it feels right for you.
Practical Life Pages
Okay, now we move to the practical pages, the ones that help keep daily life a bit more under control.
These are the spots where you can write down the things that usually float around in your head.
It’s where you put all the small stuff that’s easy to forget until it suddenly becomes urgent.
You don’t have to use every page.
They’re here for when you need them.
If something helps, great.
If not, skip it.
The goal is to give you one clear place to come back to instead of a hundred sticky notes or random screenshots.
I’ll walk you through how to use each one so you can make them work for your brain.
Financial Helpers
Next are the financial helper pages.
These are for the money side of things, the little expenses that sneak up on you or the subscriptions you forget you even have.
You can use them to track what you spend, what you save, or the things you want to try later without buying them right away.
It helps you pause before an impulse buy and see where your money actually goes.
And like everything else in this planner, use what helps and skip what doesn’t.
It’s all about making life a bit easier to manage, not adding more pressure.
I'm sorry, I procrastined to hard, I underestimated the amount of work this page would be, I only got to here.. I am working on it very hard, please be patent and check back soon!!
Daily Balance Pages
Now we’re getting into the pages that help you take care of both yourself and your home.
They cover things like your cycle, meals, and cleaning, the stuff that keeps life running but can easily slip through the cracks.
They’re not about perfection.
They’re here to give you structure when your brain feels all over the place.
You can use one, two, or all of them, whatever fits your routine right now.

The Monthly Reset
This section is your monthly check-in.
It’s a mix of everything you might want to reset or look at again each month.
Some pages, like your grocery list or brain dump, you’ll probably use all the time.
Others, like your challenge or affirmations, you might pick up when you need a boost.
It’s all about finding your rhythm and keeping life a little more organized without overthinking it.
You can use these pages to reflect, plan, or just get things out of your head before the next month starts.
I'm sorry, I procrastined to hard, I underestimated the amount of work this page would be, I only got to here.. I am working on it very hard, please be patent and check back soon!!
The Weekly Flow
These are your weekly pages.
They help you break down life into smaller, more doable pieces, one week at a time.
You’ve got your overview, your to-do list, your daily planner, gratitude journal, and weekend pages.
They’re there to keep your focus steady without overwhelming you.
Use them to plan, reflect, or just make sure you remember the things that usually slip through the cracks.
And remember, this isn’t about being perfectly organized.
It’s about finding a rhythm that works for your brain.
I'm sorry, I procrastined to hard, I underestimated the amount of work this page would be, I only got to here.. I am working on it very hard, please be patent and check back soon!!
The Calm Corner
At the end of your planner, you’ll find a bunch of self-care checklists and different note pages.
This is your space to slow down a little, scribble, doodle, or dump thoughts that don’t fit anywhere else.
Before we wrap up, you’ve probably noticed this planner covers 90 days instead of a full year.
That’s on purpose.
Because honestly, who can plan a whole year ahead?
This planner is more of a helpful kit to keep your neurospicy brain sane, not a giant encyclopedia of to-dos.
If I made it 365 days with all these pages, trackers, and extras, you’d need a suitcase with wheels to carry it around.
So 90 days it is.
Manageable. Practical.
Long enough to build habits, short enough to stay fun.

And here’s a little thank-you, if you finish your planner and want to order a new one, we always give a 15% discount for repeat buyers on Amazon.
Because you deserve tools that grow with you, not against you.
