How to plan

How do people with ADHD plan their week?

People with ADHD who plan successfully tend to follow the same loose pattern: brain dump everything once, choose only a few real priorities, attach them to specific calendar slots, and assume the plan will change. A fifteen minute weekly review works better than elaborate systems, ideally at the same time each week. Limiting yourself to three meaningful priorities prevents the overwhelm that kills most plans. Time blocking with buffers matters because ADHD time estimates run optimistic. The winning move overall is lowering the effort required to keep the plan alive, which is why many people automate the tedious parts. We built Orby to automate all of them: you dump your goals in plain language, our AI drafts the week around your existing calendar with honest buffers, and when life shifts, we adjust the plan for you, so the system survives the weeks when you cannot maintain it yourself.
