ADHD Planner

Charlie had always felt like a tornado in a world of clear skies. Every day was a jumble of thoughts, to-dos, and distractions, especially with ADHD. He’d start one thing, only to jump to another before the first was even halfway done. His mom always said, “Charlie, you need a plan!” But no matter what, planning seemed impossible.

One morning, Charlie's teacher, Mrs. Baker, handed him something strange. It was a small, simple notebook labeled *ADHD Planner*. It didn’t look like much—just some boxes and blank spaces—but Mrs. Baker said it was magic. "Give it a try, Charlie. Write down what you want to do today and check off each box when you're done."

At first, Charlie wasn’t impressed. "A notebook? Really?" he thought. But since Mrs. Baker always seemed to know what she was talking about, he gave it a shot. 

He wrote, "Feed the dog, finish math homework, and clean my room." That sounded easy enough, right? 

But by lunch, Charlie had already forgotten about the planner and was chasing a butterfly outside with his friend Max. When he finally got home, his mom asked, “Did you finish your math homework?” Charlie froze. He hadn’t even started. He pulled out his planner from his backpack and stared at the empty boxes.

Suddenly, the notebook began to glow. Charlie blinked in shock as the words he wrote started to shimmer. Before he knew it, his planner was talking! "Don’t worry, Charlie," it said in a calm, cheerful voice. "I can help you stay on track."

Charlie was both amazed and a little freaked out, but he listened. The planner reminded him to feed the dog first. So, Charlie went to the kitchen, and in no time, the dog was happily munching. Then the planner gently nudged him toward his math homework. It was tough, but Charlie stuck with it, marking off each problem as he completed it.

By the time his room was clean, the notebook stopped glowing, and Charlie felt proud. He had done everything on his list! For the first time, his day hadn’t felt like a whirlwind.

From then on, Charlie and his magic ADHD planner became best friends. Every day was still an adventure, but now Charlie had a little help making sure he didn’t get too distracted. And the best part? The planner never got mad if Charlie forgot something—it just encouraged him to try again tomorrow.

The End

Remember, a little planning can work magic—even if it’s just with a notebook!
