Time Sense Exercise
I initially developed the TIME SENSE EXERCISE© to help ADD Adults get a better handle on time. If you're like many ADDers, you may have a hard time predicting how long things will take, or feeling how much time has passed when you are engaged in an activity. This makes it very difficult to plan and realistically budget your time.
The Time Sense Exercise is a simple pen and paper tool. Yet it makes a dramatic difference within just a few days of working it, and it takes just minutes a day. Try it! Then download the “Develop a Time Sense” class recording with notes to deepen your experience with using time effectively.
The Time Sense Exercise is in PDF file format. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader software to read it on your computer. You can quickly download Acrobat Reader at no charge from http://www.adobe.com.

The ‘Delta Planner'
If you prefer to keep track of your life on paper rather than electronically, the Delta Planner is for you! This wonderful planner was made for ADDers who want to keep all their notes, plans and information in one place. It's designed to remain open throughout the day to continually remind you of things you need to do. It provides for the quickest entry and retrieval of information, and eliminates many common stressful situations of forgetting actions and losing information.
Each easy week-at-a-glance page includes:
- telephone log
- weekly to-do list
- space for miscellaneous notes
- plastic sheet to hold current paperwork (deluxe version)
Choose the version that suits you, economy to deluxe, including one in color.

Task Batching Chart for Improved Productivity
Wouldn't you like to be able to see everything you have to do this week at a glance, grouped so you could get things done efficiently? I've been teaching my coaching clients my Task-Batching method for a long time, with great results in their productivity.
You can create your own TASK BATCHING CHART for any time period with pen and paper. Just write your TO-DO PROJECTS on the left side, and create columns going across for typical types of things you do. For example, your columns might include Calls, Emails and Errands. Then fill out the chart.
The Task-Batching Chart makes it easy to plug similar TO-DOs into one block of time on your calendar. For example, seeing all your errands at once lets you plan to get them done efficiently without running back and forth. So planning is easier and you've instantly become more productive.
Here is an example of how it would work for the December holiday season.
