The ADHD-friendly middle school planner

Middle School Edition · ages 11 to 13 · undated on purpose

Paperback from $19.99, on Amazon later in November. Spiral-bound and printable PDF on Nov 15.

A Kindquill daily page in color. It has a Wednesday heading with blank date and week lines, a box for the one thing today, three small things to tick off in any order, two boxes asking when focus slipped and what helped, a square for a dopamine-win sticker, and five energy circles to color in. — A daily page from this edition. There's no date printed on it, so a skipped day costs nothing.

Most planners assume a sixth-grader will fill in seven subjects a day, every day, forever. This one asks one question: what's the one thing today?

Built for ADHD, dyslexic, autistic, and AuDHD kids, and for the parents who've watched planner after planner get abandoned by September. Skip days are part of the system: every page is undated, so a missed week costs nothing.

What's inside

One-thing daily pages: a sixth-grader finishes one in minutes. One thing today, three small things, done.
Weekly Reset pages: for when everything falls apart, with a permission slip to start where you are.
Subject Recall pages: a modified-Cornell layout: say it like you'd text a friend.
Exam Countdown pages: the time math is done for you. Days left, what you know cold, what's still shaky.
Habits without streaks: three is plenty. Two is fine. One is brave. Missed days don't reset anything.
Study tips for YOUR brain: reference pages for ADHD, dyslexic, autistic, and AuDHD wiring. Identity-affirming, never clinical.

Bought by a parent? There's no setup and no system to learn. Hand it over, point at the one-thing box, done.

Why an undated middle school planner works

Set in Lexend Deca, a typeface drawn with dyslexic readers in mind. Calm, uncluttered pages, left-aligned, with generous spacing. No rigid hourly grid to fall behind on. No streak to break. The design has one quiet job: leave a kid nothing to feel bad about, so the planner outlasts September instead of dying in a drawer. It will not change how your kid's brain works. It fits the brain they already have.

Questions

Is this planner dated?
No, and that’s deliberate. Every page is undated, so a missed day or a skipped week never puts a kid “behind.” Start any month, any week.

Who is the Middle School Edition for?
Students roughly ages 11 to 13 with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, or AuDHD, plus any kid who has quietly abandoned a regular planner. It is a tool, not a treatment.

Will my kid actually use it?
That is the whole design goal. A daily page takes a few minutes, there is no system to learn, and nothing resets when a day gets skipped. Hand it over, point at the one-thing box, and let it be easy.

What formats will it come in?
Three: a black-ink paperback (on Amazon), a full-color printable PDF (on Etsy), and a full-color spiral-bound edition that lies flat (on the Lulu Bookstore and Etsy). Dates are in the next answer.

When can I buy it?
The printable PDF (Etsy) and the spiral-bound edition (Lulu Bookstore and Etsy) are coming Nov 15. The black-ink paperback (Amazon) is coming later in November. Everyone on the email list gets one Etsy launch offer by email on Nov 15, good through Nov 30.
