The HawkInc ADHD Time Blindness Planner is a printable PDF and editable Excel kit for adults with ADHD who keep underestimating how long things take: you log a Baseline Week of guesses against real minutes, turn the gap into personal multipliers, then plan a realistic day with buffers, a slack block and a leave-by card.

Who it’s for, and who it’s not for
A good fit if you
- Have ADHD or suspect you are neurodivergent and often lose track of time
- Regularly run late or plan days that never fit into the hours you have
- Want a simple, measurable method instead of another pretty planner you abandon
Probably not for you if you
- Want a dated, pre-filled annual diary with calendars
- Need a full project-management system for a team
- Are looking for medical treatment; this is an organisation tool only
How it works
- Buy on Etsy and download the ZIP file straight away.
- Print the PDF pages at home or open the Excel tracker.
- Measure for one Baseline Week: guess, then time, each everyday task.
- Multiply: divide actual minutes by your guess to fill in your My Multipliers card.
- Plan each day on the Realistic Day page using multiplied times, buffers and the 45-minute slack row.
Look inside
Frequently asked questions
How does this planner help with ADHD time blindness?
It replaces guesswork with your own data. For one Baseline Week you write down how long you think each task will take and how long it really took. The gap gives you a personal multiplier for each type of task, which you then use on the Realistic Day page to plan days that actually fit.
What formats are included?
You get one ZIP download containing printable PDF pages and an editable Excel (.xlsx) tracker. Print the pages at home or at a print shop and write on them by hand, or keep your Baseline Week and multipliers in the spreadsheet if you prefer typing to paper. Nothing physical is shipped to you.
Is the planner dated?
No. Every page is undated, so you can start on any day of any month and reuse the pages as often as you like. Many people run a fresh Baseline Week every few months, or whenever their routine changes, such as a new job, a new term or a move, to keep their multipliers honest.
Do I need Microsoft Excel?
The tracker is an .xlsx file built for Microsoft Excel. Other spreadsheet apps that open .xlsx files may also work, although formatting can look slightly different. If you would rather not use a spreadsheet at all, the printable PDF pages cover the whole method on paper, so the Excel file is optional.
Is this a treatment for ADHD?
No. It is a planning and self-organisation tool, not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. It can sit alongside whatever support you already have. If time problems are affecting your work, studies or relationships, talk to your doctor or an ADHD specialist about assessment and support options that are right for you.
Is it only for people with ADHD?
No. It suits anyone who regularly runs late, overbooks their day or underestimates tasks, including people who are neurodivergent without a diagnosis, busy parents and students. The method is simple: measure, multiply and add buffers. It also makes a thoughtful, low-cost gift for a friend or teacher who works with ADHD.
