AuDHD daily planner: combine fixed anchors with flexible capacity
This daily planner separates stable anchors from a flexible task pool. The day remains readable when energy, attention, or sensory capacity changes.
AuDHD daily planner: combine fixed anchors with flexible capacity
What this template addresses
A completely open day can require too many decisions, while a fully scheduled day can collapse after its first change. Both experiences can alternate in AuDHD life.
This template fixes appointments, basic care, and transitions first. Optional tasks are selected from a small pool only when real capacity becomes visible.
Low-energy version
- 01Show only fixed appointments and basic care
- 02Choose one necessary action or an intentional cancellation
- 03Remove every remaining task from today's view
Adapt the template
- Separate fixed anchors clearly from optional tasks.
- Treat travel and task switching as real time blocks.
- Keep the flexible pool small enough for a quick choice.
- Replan from now instead of catching up with an ideal day.

Common questions
Why is this AuDHD planner not scheduled hour by hour?
Fixed anchors provide orientation while open capacity can respond to changing attention, energy, and sensory demand. A rigid grid can be too fragile for that.
How many tasks belong in the flexible pool?
Two or three concrete options are often enough. A longer list creates more prioritisation work and can stay outside the daily plan.
Can I change individual steps?
Yes. Change, add, check off, copy, or print any step.
