APPS
Sunsama – Daily planner for balanced work (Free 30-Day Trial)
Description: Plan a stress free workday by pulling together your tasks, emails, and calendars in one place. Sunsama’s daily planning ritual prevents unsustainable and unfocused workloads.
My Thoughts: This is the app I’ve been waiting for… I LOVE the guided daily planning & wrap up rituals, as well as the way it allows me to easily timebox & track my daily tasks. I particularly appreciate this company’s focus on helping their customers learn how to build healthy, realistic, and sustainable habits and routines. They even have a little notification that pops up and tells you if you’re trying to squeeze too many tasks into your calendar.
Inflow – Manage your ADHD in 5 min a day.

We provide the tools you need to implement these strategies in your everyday life, all at your own pace. We do this with daily exercises, challenges, and tools that allow you to make small changes with a big impact.
My thoughts: I really like this app! Although it’s still in its infancy, it’s easy to use and the content is excellent. I love the daily modules, mini journaling, live Q&As, and the community discussions. I also appreciate that it was created by people with ADHD who are clearly committed to creating a positive user experience. One of the founders personally interviewed me about my user experience a couple weeks after I first joined.

Todoist – To do lists & tasks
Description: Available on any device, Todoist will quickly become your hub for getting work and life organized. Regain clarity and calmness by getting all those tasks out of your head and onto your to-do list (no matter where you are or what device you use).
My Thoughts: I can’t live without this app. There’s a bit of a learning curve (like any new tool), but their customer service & blog are both super helpful. I use the Pro version so I can collaborate with my husband on shared “projects.” We use this app for pretty much everything–grocery shopping, packing lists, discussions we want to remember to have, etc. It’s great for to-do lists, as well as project management.
PLANNERS
Panda Planner (Paper)
Panda planner is part agenda, part gratitude journal, part planner, part schedule, part goal planner, part life organizer, all productivity. Combines principles of positive psychology and neuroscience to help you become happier and more productive over time.
Rocketbook: Panda Planner (Paper + Digital)
Rocketbook created a reusable version of the Panda Planner that is a total game changer. Comes with a microfiber cloth & Pilot FriXion pen. It contains the standard monthly, weekly, and daily planning pages, quarterly goal setting pages, and extra blank pages for notes. All of the pages are erasable (must use a Pilot FriXion pen) and syncs with the Rocketbook app to upload images of your calendars and notes to the cloud (syncs with Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).
Google Calendar (Digital)
Google Calendar is my second brain. I fought using Google calendar for years, but the reality is that most people use it both personally and professionally. Do yourself a favor and switch to Google Calendar if you haven’t already. It syncs well with almost all phones and computers. I use this app in combination with my Apple watch and iPhone to keep track of my daily appointments.
