↳ how it works

5 steps. That's it.

  1. Identify the mood

    Figure out which feeling is keeping you stuck right now.

  2. Flip to the colored tab

    The book's organized by mood. Tabs guide you to the right page.

  3. Browse strategies

    Each section has activities tailored to that mood.

  4. Pick one and go

    No commitment. Try one. Skip the rest. Doodle in the margins.

  5. Actually do the damn thing.

    That's it. Use it again whenever your brain needs it.

↳ it's not you, it's them

Why everything else hasn't worked.

You've tried it all. Here's why nothing stuck—and how The Anti-Planner is different.

What we try Why we quit How the Anti-Planner is different
Planners Daily use required Open it when you need it. Close it when you don't. Zero daily requirement.
Self-help books Too long, takes forever to get to the point Short, visual activities you finish in 5 minutes — no reading required.
Online courses Big time commitment Pick one activity. Do it now. Close the book. That's literally it.
Workbooks Only useful if you write in them Works even if you just read it. Write in it if you feel like it.
Coaching Expensive, ongoing One-time cost. Works every time your brain gets stuck again.
↳ the trap we're all in

The productivity self-help cycle.

Sound familiar? Most ADHD brains have run this loop a dozen times.

  1. Step 1 Desperately want to get sh*t done
  2. Step 2 Spend $ on a solution
  3. Step 3 Inevitably quit
  4. Step 4 Get angry at yourself
  5. Step 5 Struggle in silence
  6. Step 6 Repeat
but what if…

We leaned into step 3 (inconsistency) instead of fighting it?

↳ a note from the author + artist

I built for the brain I actually have.

Hi! I'm Dani. I tried every productivity tool on the planet, and got reaaaal tired of feeling like a failure for never sticking to anything.

So I designed this instead. It's an activity book (not a planner) full of comics, games, and weird-enough-to-work strategies that have helped me so much over the years. I wrote them down, hoping they'd help at least one person.

100,000+ copies later, here we are.

I'm excited for you to check it out. And if not, hey—thanks for taking the time to read all this. I know you're busy.

Stay awesome,

💖 Dani Donovan
↳ P.S.

Really?

You’re seriously reading the footer?! Man. I didn’t know anyone actually looked down here. Well, this is awkward. Maybe I should’ve thought this through better. Whatever, too late now. Thanks for sharing this little moment with me. You’re awesome.
