Here's my latest update on my attempts at finding a weekly system that works for me. So far, I'm 0 for 2, although I was so close with the first one.
For those of you who are new here, I have ADHD, and while I have a daily system in place that keeps me on track for those tasks, at the start of 2025, I was working to come up with a monthly and weekly system. I figured out the monthly early on.
The weekly? I'm still trialing things. And those trials are still failing. Here is the story of my latest two attempts.
Trial one. I have an A5, six-ring binder from when I was using planner inserts instead of a planner. What if I got a two page weekly insert and only used that for weekly tasks?
It sounded promising. I ordered undated inserts that I really liked. And I still really like them, but I ran into a small problem. Space. My original idea of keeping the binder in my office didn't work, that meant I needed it with my actual planner on my kitchen table. Only that binder takes up a heck of a lot of room. Closing it defeats the purpose, so I thought, let me try a variation.
Trial two. A one page weekly insert. This way, I can just have the one A5 page on my table and not the binder. Space issue should be solved.
And I immediately ran into a problem. The layout of the one page insert didn't work for my brain. I tried fixing it with correction tape and by drawing my own lines, but I still don't like it.
So I ordered a different one-page weekly insert, which hasn't arrived yet. That will be trial three. If that doesn't work, it's back to the drawing board. I have to have a way to get my weekly tasks done!
