Summary

Sarah reviews two planners specifically designed to help those with different planning needs. First, she discusses the Order Out of Chaos Planner, designed by ADHD parent and ADDItude Magazine columnist Leslie Josel. This planner is designed for students and might be particularly helpful for those with ADHD, though it could definitely serve other students well, too! Link to the planners: https://ooocplanner.com/collections/academic-planners Second, she reviews the Fast Brain Friend Daily Productivity Planner, described as "an intentional design for the neurodivergent mind" by creator Alanah Purtell. These are Australian monthly planners with varying (and somewhat unusual!) daily layouts as well as monthly + weekly planning tools.

Hello and welcome to best laid plans.

0:11.3

This is your host, Sarah Hard Unger, and this is a podcast where we talk all things planning

0:15.6

and planning adjacent.

0:17.5

This episode airs in early August, and I'm going to do something I haven't done for a while,

0:23.1

which is talk to you with a bunch of products right next to me. No, this is not video, but I will

0:28.4

provide some pictures in today's show notes if you would like a visual. And I feel like it

0:33.5

is time to do a little physical product review. So I am going to talk about two items in

0:39.6

detail today. One is the order out of chaos planner, a planner that I am intending to have my

0:46.1

middle schooler try this year. And the second one is something called the fast brain friend

0:52.2

daily productivity planner. So we will get into both of these products.

0:56.3

They're both a little bit different. You may not have heard of them, but it's kind of what the podcast

1:00.6

is for, right, to bring some maybe off the beaten path techniques and products to attention.

1:06.1

Neither of these are sponsored. Neither of these were sent to me by the manufacturer, although I will

She had ordered it for herself, and she tried it and found that it wasn't exactly what she was looking for, and since it's same, it came in a multi-pack. She thought a great use would be to send one over to me so that I could share the details of it with you. So thank you so much for sending me that,

1:27.7

CD. All right. So we're going to get started with the order out of chaos planner first.

1:33.3

So this planner I learned about from, I think, one of the bigger ADHD podcasts out there

1:40.7

and they actually had endorsed it. I don't know if the company was affiliated. I kind of got

1:45.7

maybe the impression that the two things were affiliated and I'll put the information in the show

1:49.5

notes as to what the actual company that makes this planner is, but it is called the order out

1:55.2

of chaos planner. And it is specifically designed to be great for students that have ADHD, although I absolutely

2:04.9

think this planner could be good for any student and extra bonus that it might have some

2:10.6

features that would appeal to those who need that extra layer of organization or direction.
