xTiles Daily ADHD Planner
Today, we have digital planners for almost anything, which is much harder to obtain with a paper planner. An ADHD planner for daily tasks is one of them, helping people with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder minimize distractions and manage their routines, tasks, deadlines, etc.
The xTiles Daily ADHD Planner is a perfect example of an effective yet basic planner that can improve your time management skills, help you stay organized, and learn to use your time effectively.
How the Daily ADHD Planner Works
For an ADHD brain, everyday life might be quite a challenge. Important events, tasks, important dates to remember, appointments, and all the responsibilities we have every day are a lot to have on one’s plate, especially when you have to deal with the symptoms to stay organized. Having the best planner is your way out of this chaos, allowing you to allocate your time effectively.
A perfect planner is a visualization of your schedule. You don’t have to remember everything when everything is consolidated in a single, intuitive project. Additionally, these planners usually have many features to support you while you’re dealing with all the tasks. A gratitude journal, habit trackers, bullet journals, reminders, etc., make digital planners more effective and responsive for people with ADHD.
Success in planning, whether we’re talking about weekly, monthly, or daily approaches, depends on the tools you use and how well they suit the unique way your brain functions. Adults who struggle with the inability to preserve their focus on one task at a time might find a digital daily planner a reliable way to incorporate interest in their daily operations. The more checkmarks you add, the more tasks you mark as done, creating a strong feeling of achievement, showing you how satisfying progress can be.
Benefits of the xTiles Daily Planner for ADHD
xTiles planner for daily planning for people with ADHD is a canvas with tiles, elements that resemble sticky notes, that can be moved, resized, linked, and customized. Regular planners can’t provide this level of flexibility, making time management less adaptable.
The planner is designed to assist with daily scheduling. However, you can easily turn it into a weekly or even monthly planner, to have these daily pages within one project and easily accessible. This move can reduce stress because everything is ready when you start your daily planning. You can start adding tasks straight away, without preparation while your focus is still in the right direction.
The planner also helps with tasks that don’t have allocated time through a Daily To-Do List section. This mixed strategy allows you to relax a bit, switch your focus to something else to give your ADHD brain a bit of a well-deserved rest.
Also, this planner provides another great tool to maximize your productivity – a separate section for identifying your distractions during the day. This way, you can prepare better for tomorrow and explore and reflect on things that can easily distract you from developing strategies for keeping your focus tight.
In addition to helping you get through your daily schedule, the planner also helps with routines that often remain overseen by people with ADHD, such as meals. The xTiles planner helps to ensure that you don’t forget to eat while you’re in the middle of something important by providing a designated section to help you stick to a healthy diet. It isn’t a full-scale meal planner (however, you can use the xTiles Meal Planner Template if you want/need one), only a basic section to ensure you eat while keeping your planner helpful, without different types of elements and tools that can distract you.
A habit tracker section works the same way. It’s only an integration of a traditional tracker, to shorten the number of tools you have to deal with daily. This approach makes the planner a great tool for those with ADHD who only start planning and they prefer smaller steps, instead of going into a very detailed and multi-level planning.
Finally, the planner offers a section for notes – a perfect space for quotes to stay motivated, to note ideas that come to your mind all of a sudden, etc.
This basic yet versatile system creates a perfect planner for adults with ADHD who want to have an optimal tool that helps with daily operations, without unnecessary elements that might slow down the progress.
How to Manage Your Daily Tasks Efficiently with the xTiles Daily ADHD Planner
In this section, we will take a look at technical aspects of using the xTiles Daily Planner for ADHD and provide a few tips on how to optimize the process and increase your productivity.
Let’s start with the customization. You may have your favorite color, or colors you know help you focus. Hover the cursor over the tile header and press a button with a brush. Then, choose the tile style and color from the menu, whether you prefer bright colors or neutral ones. Also, you can assign different colors to tiles, or keep your planner within one color palette. Repeat this with all the tiles on the page. You can choose a different color for every tile if you want colors to serve as your navigator whenever you open the planner.
Customization doesn’t end with tile colors. You can also change the tab color using the three-dot menu and you can change the cover to a picture you like. Hover the cursor over the cover and press “change cover” in the lower right corner. Then, choose a picture or photo you like.
The xTiles planner is a one-pager with a markup for hours. Simply add a daily task when you need to do it. For example, at 12 pm you’re having a meeting with your manager to plan a month ahead for your team, or you’re having a dentist appointment. Simply add this task to the relevant hour. When the task is done, you can strike through the text by selecting the task and choosing the needed option from the menu that will appear. Another option to mark your task as done is to add a colorful banner. Select the text, and choose the relevant option from the menu.
Also, you can use this approach to prioritize your tasks. Create a color coding system where every priority has its color for quicker navigation in your planner. You can even add a new tile with a map to remember everything when you only start.
Additionally, your tasks can be much more than a text in your to-do list. You can create tasks that will appear in your calendar and a separate menu bar accessible from anywhere in xTiles (a checkmark button left to your avatar) menu where you can track everything. This way, you will get reminders to remember that it’s time to do something that was planned.
The planner also has a bullet list for tasks that can be done anytime or you can use this section as a brain dump for a day adding important items that might need your attention later, and then for planning the next day.
The xTiles planner consists of one page to avoid elements accumulation within your daily planning. However, if you want, you can add more tiles (use the side panel menu to your left) or even a blank page for planning a week, quick notes, information storing, etc. Just click on the “+” button right to the current tab.
If you want to add more pages to your daily planner to ensure you don’t have to prepare your planner all over again every day, press the three-dot menu on the tab, and choose “Copy to clipboard.” Then, press the “+” button and choose “Paste page.” Repeat this action 6 more times to get 7 pages.
If you use the xTiles Mobile app, you can have quick access to your planner from your smartphone. This is the quickest bridge to your tasks while you’re on the go. Add new tasks and mark them as complete and write down important information. Also, you can use the mobile app as your web clipper, by sending important information directly to your xTiles Inbox, which will be synchronized with your desktop version. Just select the text or element on the page you want to save, press share, and choose xTiles.
