If you had ordered the non swearing version I would have assumed you’d been kidnapped & it was a coded message for help.

Just ordered this, because it sounds like someone read my mind! I’m hyper-vigilant with writing things down, checklists, planning, notes…but then I can’t ever MAKE myself “do all the things”, because I don’t WANT to!

I feel like I would continue to procrastinate because I wouldn’t be able to decide which method to use to get shit done. LOL gotta love analysis paralysis

My husband hates spending money but when I told him about this he immediately said I should get one. The hope on his face that I'd finally actually might get things done was priceless! 😊

Definitely would like to see some vlogs using activities from the Anti-Planner, especially the morning person one.

I've had the anti-planner for about 6 months. In typical ADHD fashion, I put it out of site and completely forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me I have such a fantastic tool at my fingertips, if I can remember to take it off the shelf.

I do things like set a timer for 1 minute per room. I clean as fast as I can for a minute. Throw what doesn’t belong in that room in the hall. Spend one minute or so putting those things away. Move on to next room. Repeat. It can be amazingly effective. We often think things will take longer than they actually do, then we put things off.

YES! I would absolutely watch a video or series of videos using these activities to motivate yourself!

I was all "you dont need more planners", and yet, I think I may need this lol. I enjoyed the alterntive way to get stuff done. Thanks for checking it out.

I'm here for the Shaggy Orange Goblin cameos

My boyfriend just asked what I wanted for my birthday...I now have my answer! I love this so much!

Wow, this is right up my ADHD alley. I recognized a few of the exercises and methods but I’m always looking for help with my executive function (lack there of). I’m going to purchase one and would love to see videos on anything related to this. Even before my ADHD was diagnosed 6 years ago the only helpful organization/time management books in my embarrassingly large collection were ADHD focused. Silly me was still dumbfounded when a new therapist I was seeing for depression and anxiety zeroed in on underlying inattentive ADHD after a month of sessions. I had only associated hyperactivity with ADHD before this. Game changer!

Immediately smashed the like button and subscribed as soon as you said, "I really dislike Ted Cruz"! Oh, and I also find folding laundry very meditative. I'll be ordering this Anti-Planner and looking forward to your next video! ❤

Love the concept. I would very much like to see you try some of these. I've become such a wizard of procrastination that I could see myself doing a bunch of the activities instead of actually doing the thing 😁

So many fantastic tips in this book! Thank you for giving it such a strong “signal boost” - I first learned of the phrase Signal Boost for recommending things you love via Geek and Sundry tv show 2016. I LOVE that phrase… so I guess I’m giving it a Signal Boost. WHOA.

Yes, I would love to see more about how you use this workbook and how it's working for you! I'm ging to keep this video pinned at the top of my ADHD playlist so I can watch it more slowly on repeat.

I've had this for a year and loved it! It helped me realize that a lot of mess/clutter in one of my rooms was bad because I.... never had a garbage can in one of the most commonly used rooms. Sometimes I felt like choosing the mood was too hard, so I just started randomly opening up the book and kept reopening it to random pages until the activity seemed accessible to my brain and helpful. I was planning on making a new notebook where I try going through all these exercises and maybe make my own versions. Having a list, maybe on the inside, of strategies that help you can be good. This did also suggest the Magnet mac app for window management and that was totally worth it. I want to try and adapt some of these with my kiddo to help him better understand what I mean when I ask him to do certain chores. (anxiety kiddos, am I right?) I also used to race myself to cleaning my apartment, like when I got an unexpected hour at home sans kid and sans spouse, and see how much I can multitask. Start the washer, dishwasher, roomba in the bedroom, vac other rooms, pickup, etc....

Would love to see you vlog this process.

I need another book/planner/stationery-whatever like I need another hole in my head. Yet I just digitally ran and placed an order half way through this video. So many of the strategies in this book will be helpful for me. I can't wait to get it.

This sounds like it was made for me and my wife. We need this. I'd love to see a vlog of how you use it, if you end up doing so. Gonna get the swearing-in version, because that's our sense of humor, too. Thank you for sharing about the anti-planner!

Thanks for the video... I am dealing with anxiety and depression and seeing this video was a great kick to buy this book. I am struggling with productivity in my life lately and this hits so many issues I am facing. I can also see myself using it with my students.

I would love to see you tackle some of the things in this book. Especially the 'become a morning person' one. I struggle hard core with that.

I also prefer the term pleather! The rebrand of it is so silly and unserious to me lol. And I definitely remember Stussy as a teen in the 1990s. Lol

Would love a video of your thoughts after trying these things! Thanks for the review!

I preodered this last winter and got it in May of 2023! IT REALLY WORKS! ITS AMAZING!!

THANK YOU! The term "vegan leather" irks me so! It's pleather.

Ordering it and I'd love to watch you trying some of those techniques, specially the Morning Person Challenge.

I'm seriously considering downloading the digital version to implement into my planner!

I bought this in the fall and loved paging through it. I've already incorporated task BINGO into my life and really find that helpful. I haven't used the book much yet, but I store it close to the couch (which is where I tend to do my best procrastinating) and I expect it will help me a lot as my seasonal depression really kicks in this winter.

I've had this planner since Dani first released it, but never thought of adding tabs to thing things I want to do. I definitely need to go through and do that.

I pre-ordered this planner, and have it, and you've made me excited to use it all over again! Thank you!

Yes, in answer to your question, it is super awesome. Thanks for the review. I really love this concept. I don’t know anything about the creator, but just based off your review they must be in the mental health field. Kudos to them for developing and sharing. I am here for it. ❤

I coincidentally bought this yesterday! I’m so excited for it 😍

Thank you for this video. Id love to see more on how this works or doesnt work for you. Im all of those.. Stuck, unmotivated, overwhemed etc.!!!

That looks like the best Procrasta-planner thing I have seen, I have added it to my budget of things "I want and need to get". Thank you for sharing this one.

I've had this planner sitting around for MONTHS now, and I definitely should've been going through it...maybe I wouldn't have gone as crazy if I actually used it as a resource. Lol

That would be a REALLY fun vlog to watch!

Would love some videos on you working through some of the exercises!

@17:07 HELL YES! This, all day, every day! The expectations are completely unrealistic, and trying to explain that just falls on deaf ears. So I end up overwhelmed and frustrated. I cannot wait until my copy of this arrives. Was just walking the dog while listening to Cindy flip through this, nodding my head and getting so excited to use these tips!

I'm freaging speechless. This book looks amazing. Great video. Had no idea this was out there and had no idea who Dani Donovan was. Extraordinary find. Thank you so much for sharing.

This looks beneficial for working through autistic burnout.

I also prefer the term “Pleather”.

This looks incredible and exactly what i need! I just ordered 2 so I can gift the 2nd one to my mom. I would love to see any videos or vlogs where you apply stuff from the Anti-Planner!

First of all, orange cats are the best!! Second, I would love to hear how these exercises work for you! There are some I'm interested in.

Progress videos would be great! Really enjoyed the descriptive walkthrough! Thank you!

I got my Anti-Planner when Dani did her kickstarter - in true ADHD style, though, I haven't actually used it since it arrived! Your video was a good prompt to get it off my bookshelf and start putting it into use :-)

I am also an Xennial - I’ve heard the phrase “analog childhood, digital adolescence” to describe us, as well as “the Oregon Trail” generation (that one cracks me up).

This walk through is so much fun! I can already tell that if I purchase this book both my husband and I will definitely use it. 😅

Thank you for sharing this! I’m inspired to use this for myself and with my kids. Empowers parents who struggle with executive functioning like me!

I’m adding this to my buy list! And 👋🏻 from one aphantasia to another 😊

I desperately want you to do a video doing any of these. I need to order this, Lord.... This is gonna be the main gift I give to most of my friends...

Class of ‘99! Fellow Oregon Trail Gen here. Not a planner girlie, but this might change my tune

"You shaggy orange goblin" - one that killed me, and also is something id say to a cat. I adore it.

Thanks for walking us through it! I know most of those aren't helpful for my Executive Dysfunction so I won't waste my money.

Awe you got a nice version, mine has a soft plastic cover instead of a nice hard cover.

OMG...I need this book! It sounds like she looked in my brain and wrote all the things to get my ass moving. I am ordering it right now. I would love you to blog how this works for you!

Couldn't click through to order fast enough. Wow! Thank you for reviewing this anti-plannet. ❤

My cat chews plastic too. I set up some that he likes to puncture and the vet says he has the best teeth ever! Win!

I recently moved this from my wishlist to my maybe list. After watching your review, I'm moving it back to my wishlist--or may just buy it for myself. Yes to you vlogging any of the activities that you try! TFS

Dang, this is definitely something I should get. Since becoming unemployed and being overwhelmed with housework, I could use some guidance in addition to my planner.

I’d love to see follow up videos. I would buy it if it was book bound. I won’t buy wire-o anymore, I hate it that much. I guess I might consider it if it was a spiral. 😊

This is good info for anyone. It reminds me of some tips from a note taking class my Mom sent me to summer before junior high back in mid80s.

YES for the vlog(s)! Also, I've never considered myself sassy but looking at the 2 options, I got the OG version. Somehow these activities are more fun with the cussing 😆

Damn it! This book sounds awesome! Now I have to order it! 😅😩💸 And, yes, I would love to see a video of you working through some of these exercises!

I would definitely make more use of this book .. more than a regular organization book.. .ore fun.. easy to use ..

This would be great for students trying to get started on assignments. I think I may order one for my fellow teachers. Unfortunately I’ll have to get the non-swearing one, but the one you had is more up my personal alley.

This seems like angreat resource to have on standby...getting stuck and eig intimidated are two of my biggest issues with doing stuff.

Would love to see more of the morning routine tips in action! Also, I have three now young adult/adult male offspring. Not one has been able to master hanging up or putting away clothes on a regular basis. I just shut the door to their room(s) 😂

I’m so glad you did this video! I got mine with the initial launch and then promptly forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!! I would love to see videos on using the ideas and your thoughts as you try them! ❤

23:12 Cindy, I would love to see a vlog of you trying some of these things. I’m very intrigued by it all! - Beth

Ok love but how do i avoid spending an hour picking out the activity i want to use to get me to complete the tasks? 😂😂😂

Omg, I need this book !!! Would love to see vlogs when you try some of the suggestions. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

YES I'd love to see you try these things! ❤

Girl this negative degree weather is insane

I went to order it from Canada and the shipping is 60% of the price. I really want to, but I just can't right now. I was hoping maybe I could find it in an actual bookstore. If it's undated maybe I can do it later in the year

This does sound awesome! I'm a huge procrastinator. Id love updates on what you try.

Definitely want to see a blog where you try the things... gonna pick this up bc I need more stuff like this

Thank you for this video! Immediately bought this 3 min and 30 seconds in lol 😂 feels like the universe is saying: time to get sh!t done Jess

That sweater has me wanting to roll up my sleeves, and I'm wearing a tee. Maybe it's SPD, but sleeves that long always make me feel like they're going to be wet up to the elbows the first time you try to accomplish something. Or maybe that's just me. The book looks fabulous.

"Vegan leather" is the most greenwashed BS, they keep marketing it as "the more ethical choice" when it's just...plastic. Like sure, avoid animal products if you want, but he trend of vegan products suddenly making using plastics cool again annoys me sm. As for the actual review, I'd love a follow-up video if you end up using things from the book. It'd be very interesting to get "lived experience" with it from someone with chronic illness, plus you always keep things very down-to-earth and realistic with long-term reviews.

"you shaggy orange goblin" Amazing I shall refer to my orange kitty the same way from now on. 🙂

The S and cootie catcher was popular when I was in 4th grade in the 90s woot 🙌 love it

I would love to see any efforts you are willing to share. My opinion is that this might work for me but I can't afford to buy it. One task I've been putting off is getting a better-paying job. Thanks for sharing!

Yes would love like an IG version so we can get more of a reality and maybe we can join you with a mornings routine. I ain't a morning person either lol

I have this and love it! I'd also love to see you vlog doing some of the activities because I feel like it will help remind me to use it too lol. It lives next to my desk and I feel like I forget that it's there.

Sorry if I missed this, but do you have an affiliate link or something? i'm thinking of buying it and i'd love for you to get some kickbacks!

I got this as a Christmas gift, I would live to see you trying some of them!

I might grab the digital version. The executive dysfunction with my ADHD is terrible.

I’d love to see you do a video on some of these. Especially the morning person one

I could see myself doing this instead of doing the actual thing. Then turn putting it away, feeling accomplished, and not doing the main task

Awesome vid on this planner.I might consider doing a planner,if I have the time and energy

How to make a reusable diy reusable sheet. Take a laminator sheet and run it through empty. Cut to fit the size of your notebook. I use a paper clip to hold it over my papers and use a wet erase marker to write in it. It wipes off with damp paper towel or wet wipe but doesn’t wipe off by just touching it so you can close the book. Hope this helps someone

Hello Cindy from Australia 😊 love your videos I have taken so much away keep up the awesome content ❤

Pleather is PU or PVC specifically, whereas vegan leather is a broader category that includes a range of leather substitutes, including apple leather and mushroom leather for example :) so vegan leather includes many options that are more sustainable than both pleather and leather. (And many people living a vegan lifestyle probs wouldn't assume that something that is pleather is automatically vegan unless specified too so it's nice to have it written out when it is, makes it easier.)

Yes to pleather pants 😍 😜

Looks awesome what an not so awesome price as well yay great video Cindy xx

Whoa, love this book! Instantly purchased but residing in Canada the exchange from US to CDNI won't allow me to eat for a couple of weeks...meh, it's worth it!

"Reddit, Candy Crush..." I was playing Candy Crush at that moment. Ouch! XD The exercises in the book are SOLID though. It's the first flipthrough I've seen, and it's all consistent with therapist suggestions.

It would be good to see you use different sections of the anti planner.

Okay, so I love the look of this "planner"! (autism and adhd here) If you haven't already listened to it I would highly recomend the podcast "Struggle Care" By K.C. Davies. A therapist who during the last few years found out that she has adhd and a lot of episodes on Self care for someone who doesn't like the popular idea of self care aka "have a bubble bath" and instead talks about how to care for yourself and more when you really struggle. I've loved it so far!
