Executive dysfunction can make it hard to get something—anything—done. It’s easy to blame ourselves for struggling.

But you’re not broken… and you’re certainly not alone.

Sometimes discouragement isn’t about failing.
It’s about the constant feeling that you should be more.
That belief adds weight to everything.
If you’ve been questioning your own enough-ness lately, we see you.

Has advice ever made you feel worse instead of better? 😔

Sometimes keeping your head above water takes more effort than anyone else can see.

To-do lists don’t have to be boring. Would you try this out? 🤔🎨 

#AntiPlanner #ADHD #neurodiversity #MentalHealth #todolist

“Just make a list!” Thanks, I’m cured 🥰

#AntiPlanner #ADHD #neurodiversity #MentalHealth #overwhelm

Oh no… did I only respond in my head again? 👻

If you’ve ever avoided responding out of shame for not responding sooner… you’re not the only one. Tiny little obligations can build up fast.

There’s a moment before you use The Anti-Planner that doesn’t get talked about much.

You reach for it.

Which means… you’ve already decided you want something to change.

If I’m not producing, I’m falling behind.
If I’m falling behind, I’m failing.
We talk about chronic over-commitment in the Overwhelmed episode of The Anti-Planner Pod (and how much lighter things get when you start questioning it).

MON: Due dates.
TUES: Blergggg.
WEDS: Do ALL THE THINGS!!!
THURS: ☠️
FRI: …Oh no.

Not every brain runs on steady output. Some of us operate in bursts followed by recover.

Are you a sprinter or a marathon runner? 🏃‍♀️

Prioritizing can be hard for perfectionists—especially when obsessively tinkering with one part seems more important than moving onto the next (unfun) step.

When’s the last time you fell down a perfectionistic rabbit hole? 🐰🕳️
#AntiPlanner #ADHD #neurodiversity #MentalHealth #Intimidated

Being stuck isn’t just procrastination.

Sometimes it’s sitting there knowing exactly what you need to do, feeling blocked anyway… and then blaming yourself for the block.

#AntiPlanner #ADHD #neurodiversity #MentalHealth #Stuck

Tell me again how I just need to “get organized.” 🙃

Which one of these is the most aggressively accurate for you?

#AntiPlanner #ADHD #neurodiversity #MentalHealth #Overwhelm

If you’re opening The Anti-Planner and wondering if you’re “doing it correctly,”
that’s usually perfectionism talking.

This is from a TILF convo about how it’s actually supposed to work (which is… not linear).

#AntiPlanner #ADHD #neurodiversity #MentalHealth #Planner

If “perfect” is the standard, you will always lose.

There is always a better version. A more productive version. A more disciplined version.
That person isn’t real.
You are.
Full convo drops soon.

#AntiPlanner #ADHD #neurodiversity #MentalHealth #Perfectionism

“Perfect” is one of those imaginary things, like adulting on command.
If your brain has been holding you to impossible standards lately: same.
Let’s do “good enough” today.
Which one of these perfection traps gets you the most? 👇

A watercolor pencil drawing of a cute owl character, wearing fancy red suit with cape and large hat, holding a rainbow red rose. The owl is sitting in front of a few monuments from Chicago with one friend: a red masked cute frog. The drawing celebrates the 604 day streak of using the Finch app!

In the #AntiPlanner book @danidonovan.com introduced me to the Finch app last year: a virtual self-care pet friend. I used it consistently and it is helpful! Here is Magic my cute owl adventuring with a friend! Do you have any apps or habits to cultivate self-care? #FinchApp #YearInReview

Maybe an exercise in the #antiplanner
I can try to use?
