Things that were impossible to see in your head become clear on a canvas.
The ADHD Canvas takes the patterns, challenges, plans, and reflections inside your head and puts them somewhere you can see, work with, and act on. Your specific brain. Not a generic one.
When it is in your head, your brain has to hold it, sequence it, and execute on it. That is three executive functions running simultaneously.
Working memory is one of the executive functions most significantly affected by ADHD. Information held only in the mind is vulnerable to the same challenges that make ADHD difficult — it slips away mid-thought, gets displaced by a competing impulse, or becomes overwhelming when there is too much of it to hold at once.
Put it on a canvas and something shifts. Patterns that were invisible become obvious. The relationship between different challenges becomes clear. And most importantly — the first domino becomes identifiable. Fix that one, and the chain stops before it builds.
STRENGTHS AS LENS
Strengths and saboteurs are not decorative. They are the lens through which every executive function challenge on the canvas is read.
PRIORITISATION
Five dots. Place them on the challenges causing the most pain. The first domino becomes clear without having to hold all eight areas in your head simultaneously.
PLANS STAY ALIVE
Canvas insights convert into tasks and daily reminders. The plan does not stay in the session. It guides you on a Tuesday morning when motivation is long gone.
LIVING DOCUMENT
Not a one-time assessment. An evolving map that gets more accurate with every cycle. Your six-month version will make your today version look like a rough sketch.
Tackles two things in parallel — because you can't navigate your way out of an empty fuel tank.
The Canvas facilitates the full U.M.P.A.R. loop on two levels. The long-term path works on specific executive function challenges through structured experiments. The daily path builds the maintenance habits that keep your brain fuelled enough to make those experiments work. Both run simultaneously. You are never just doing one or the other.
LONG-TERM CHALLENGES
Overview Canvas identifies the first domino. Action Canvas turns it into a structured experiment. Review Canvas closes the loop and improves the next design.
DAILY HABITS & FUEL
Maintain & Move runs in parallel. Build the neurochemical habits that make the slow brain available for the work — without this, even a perfectly designed plan fails.
One connected system. Each stage builds on the last.
Overview identifies your first domino. Action turns it into a targeted experiment. Review closes the loop and improves the next one.
The Overview Canvas
Map all eight executive functions in one place: emotional regulation, impulse control, working memory, task initiation, planning, cognitive flexibility, organisation, and self-monitoring. Your strengths and saboteurs sit alongside them — not as decoration, but as the lens through which you read everything else.
Five dots. Place them. Use the arrows to connect challenges that chain together. Your first domino becomes visible — and that is where you start, not the most urgent problem or the most visible symptom.
The Action Canvas
Take your first domino and build a real plan around it. Not a generic template. A structured experiment that uses your specific strengths as the lens, anticipates your specific barriers, and includes an emergency plan for when things go sideways — because they will, and that is designed for, not apologised for.
At the end, every sticky note converts into a task and a daily reminder. The plan does not stay on the canvas. It moves into the system that guides you through the week.
The Review Canvas
Deviation from the plan is not failure. It is data. The Review Canvas gives you a structured way to read that data — what worked, what did not, which barriers showed up, and what would make the next experiment better.
Once a challenge is resolved, you return to the Overview Canvas with everything you have learned, update the map, and choose the next first domino. The system does not end. It deepens.
In most ADHD coaching, the insight lives in the session. This one doesn't.
One of the most persistent challenges for ADHD brains is the gap between planning and doing. The Canvas bridges it by making the plan and the doing system the same thing. Every sticky note from the Action Canvas converts into a task and a daily reminder — so the structure does not depend on you remembering to look at it.
Accountability built into the system. Not relying on motivation. Not waiting for a coaching session. Running quietly in the background, guiding you forward on a Tuesday morning when energy is low and the to-do list feels impossible.
Plans that don't stay on paper
The plan and the task system are the same thing. No transfer, no transcription, no forgetting to move it somewhere.
Reminders that actually help
Not just calendar alerts. Structured daily reminders that guide you back to the right next action without having to remember it yourself.
