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.
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.
Not a test or a diagnosis

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.
