Weekly Planner

I've designed this weekly planner from scratch with my autistic and/or ADHD students in mind — built around the kind of structure and flexibility that can make weekly planning feel more manageable when executive functioning is a challenge.

It’s a flexible tool that can be easily adapted to suit the needs of any student or working professional.

A weekly planner document outlining goals, priorities, tasks, and reflections for the week, with sections for motivational quotes, focus, mentoring, goal progress, daily tasks, categories, timing, and reflections, each with guidance and notes in purple boxes with arrows.

  • Each planner covers a full academic term, broken down week by week, right across the year.

  • Above is an annotated example of how it could be used.

  • You can log tasks by category (lectures, assignments, placement, personal life, and more), mark your progress, and note anything else you got done that wasn't originally planned.

  • At the end of each week, there's space to reflect on what went well and what you'd do differently — a habit that can be especially useful for building self-awareness around workload and capacity.

  • This planner is free to use, and is often used as a resource in Specialist Mentoring (ASC) sessions with neurodivergent university students.
