A5 ADHD daily planner inserts for busy, foggy and in-between days

The A5 ADHD daily planner is a set of 24 undated inserts for A5 or Half Letter ring binders and discbound planners, with soft daily spreads, routines, a brain dump, a dopamine menu and a done list. You receive an A5 PDF and a Half Letter PDF, along with print-and-cut versions for A4 and Letter paper that fit two pages on every sheet. Download it instantly, nothing is shipped.

Some days are full, some are blank, and some feel heavy. There is a page for each one.

Why the A5 ADHD daily planner fits real life

Match the page to the day. A time-block layout keeps you to three priorities across the hours from 6 am to 10 pm. A layout with no times sorts tasks into must, should and could do. And a gentle low-energy page is there for tired, foggy days.

A brain dump spread clears your head before you sort it into now, later and delegate or drop, and the task breakdown splits one big job into ten tiny steps. To work on time blindness and getting started, use the time estimator, the focus session log and the distraction log, while the dopamine menu and done list keep motivation in view. The inner margin is 14 mm and changes sides between odd and even pages, so the inserts open as true spreads in your binder.

Who will love these daily inserts

• Adults with ADHD or ADD using an A5 6-ring binder, a Half Letter binder or a junior discbound planner
• Anyone who wrestles with time blindness, getting started or never-ending to-do lists
• People whose energy changes a lot and who want a kind page for low days as well as busy ones
• Neurodivergent planners who enjoy small, portable pages they can print again whenever they like

Page design and printing

• Minimal and elegant: white pages with soft blush pink details that go easy on ink
• Wide margins on all sides, so a home printer will not cut anything off
• Portrait inserts in A5 (148 x 210 mm) and Half Letter (5.5 x 8.5 in), with print-and-cut sheets for A4 and US Letter
• Undated, so you can begin any day in any year and you can never fall behind
• Mirrored margins: 14 mm for binding on the left of odd pages and on the right of even pages, 8 mm at the outer edge
• Line spacing of at least 6.5 mm and text from 8.5 pt upward, so writing on a small page stays comfortable
• Each print-and-cut sheet has a dashed center line and cut ticks, and one cut gives two pages
• Keep them in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind them

Good to know

• This planner is made for printing and is not a hyperlinked digital planner. If you like, you can import the PDF into most note taking apps and write on it.
• You are buying a digital download, so no physical item is shipped.
• Colors on paper may differ slightly from your screen.
• For personal use only. Please do not share, resell or redistribute the files.
• Digital files cannot be returned, but if one does not open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.
• Every binder brand spaces its rings differently, so there are no punch marks. Use your own A5 6-hole, junior or disc punch on the wide inner margin.
• This is an organizing tool. It does not diagnose or treat ADHD, it is not medical advice or therapy, and it does not replace a qualified professional.
