An AuDHD planner for the person who wants the exact same day twice, and also wants to set fire to it.

That is not inconsistency, and it is not a discipline problem. One side of you wants today to look like yesterday: same food, same route, same order, and it is not fussiness, it is how you stay upright. The other side needs something that has not happened yet, or the whole day goes flat and gray. Both of those are you. Every planner you have ever been handed was written for one of them, which is why following it starved the other one and you gave up by Thursday.

The Anchor and the Spark is built for both at once. It names the two sides, gives each one a list of what it actually needs, and then finds the overlap: the things that feed both at the same time. A known walk with new music. A familiar game with a new save file. That list is the rarest and most useful page in the pack, and nobody ever tells you to make one.

What's inside

74 pages in seven sections:

  • Meet the two · what each side asks for, what it costs to starve it, and the overlap
  • Set the strip · the tug of war strip, cut out, and the five rows set once
  • Run the day · mornings, the good hours, food, the load dial, people, transitions, evenings, rest
  • When it stings · the fast drop, the 20 minute card, the unsent reply, and the flat day after
  • Cut the kit · the overlap deck, the door card, the labels, the spares
  • Keep it alive · a 2 minute rewrite, a monthly look back, and what to drop
  • Room to think · five blank templates with no prompts on them at all

Soft systems for loud minds.

The forgiveness standard: everything is undated and restartable. No day 47 of 90, no streaks, no guilt. Vanish for 3 weeks and pick up on today's page.

Good to know

How do I get my files?

Your download links appear on the order confirmation page the moment payment goes through, and they arrive by email too. Nothing is shipped.

What's included?

Every planner comes in US Letter and A4, in full color and in an ink friendly version, plus a fillable PDF you can type into. Bundles arrive as one zip file with every planner inside.

Can I fill it in on a tablet or computer?

Yes. Open the fillable PDF in a free PDF app, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, and type straight onto the pages on a laptop, tablet or phone. You can also print any page and write by hand.

Can I print it more than once?

Yes. Print the pages you need, as often as your household needs them. The files are for personal use, so please do not share or resell them.

The small print

This is a digital download, so nothing is posted and nothing is shipped. Files are ready the moment payment clears and stay in your account forever. For personal use only, please: these files may not be resold or redistributed. Colors can look a little different on screen and in print. Made by a parent, not a doctor or a lawyer, so this is not medical, psychological or legal advice. It is somewhere to put your own thinking.

Digital files cannot be returned once they are downloaded, so we try to be generous before you buy: full page counts, real page close ups, and honest listings. If a file is broken or wrong, email us and we will make it right.
