Layla at her desk, working on an ADHD planner in Google Sheets, cup of tea and sticky notes nearby
Me, this morning. Cold tea, sticky notes I don’t remember writing.
Why I made this

I wasn’t lazy. I just didn’t have the right page.

I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until I was 27. Before that, I thought I was just bad at being an adult. I quit four planners. I missed things I actually cared about. And I quietly carried around the idea that I only needed to try harder.

The diagnosis didn’t fix me overnight. But it reframed everything — my brain wasn’t broken, it was just running on a different operating system than every planner I’d been forcing on it.

“So I stopped trying to think like someone I’m not — and built the one page I reach for when my head’s too full to start.”

That page is the Focus Friend Brain Dump. It’s not clever. It’s not a system you have to become a different person to use. It’s the thing that gets me from “I can’t even look at today” to doing one small thing. I still use it every single day — so I’m giving it to you.

What one page actually does

It’s a page. But here’s what happens when you use it.

No app to learn. No login. No twelve steps before you’re allowed to start.

The noise comes out of your head
Everything spinning in there gets a place to land — so you can stop holding it all at once.
You see the one next thing
Not the whole overwhelming list. Just the single thing to do next, so starting feels possible.
The rest is parked, not lost
Everything you’re not doing yet is written down and safe — which is what finally quiets the panic.
Print it, done
It’s a PDF. Print it, keep it by the kettle, come back whenever your head fills up again.
Built for a bad-brain day
Not for the version of you that has it all together — for the one that doesn’t, today.
Zero shame, by design
Nothing here tells you you’re behind or failing. It just shows you the next step.
“I’ve started and quit every planner going. This is the first one that didn’t make me feel like I’d already failed by 9am.”
— an early Focus Friend user

I’m not a doctor, a therapist, or a coach — and I’ll always tell you when something’s outside my lane. I’m a peer who did the work and is sharing the map. Take what helps, leave what doesn’t.

One page. Zero cost.

Get the sheet I actually use every day.
