ADHD Executive Function Tools

A weekly journaling practice for recognizing daily wins,
noticing what works, and building a more accurate picture of yourself.

Where This Tool Helps

This journal creates a record of specific moments you may want to remember: something you completed, enjoyed, appreciated, or handled with care. It does not measure self-esteem or explain how ADHD affects memory or attention.

Every prompt is optional. Use ordinary examples, leave blanks, and review the week without forcing a positive conclusion.

How to Use This Journal

  1. Write daily, even briefly. Three prompts per day doesn't require much time — five to ten minutes is enough. The consistency matters more than the length of each entry.
  2. Choose the prompts that feel useful. Some days the "something I did well" prompt will feel like a trick question. Write something anyway, even if it's small. "I made coffee and got dressed" is a real answer on a hard day.
  3. Be specific. "I had fun when I worked on the project with Maya" is more useful than "I had fun at work." Specificity makes the entry retrievable later, and the details are what make it feel real instead of like an exercise.
  4. Don't censor for significance. The prompts are not asking for highlights. They're asking for what was true that day, including the ordinary.

Coaching and Health Scope

This is a coaching reflection aid, not therapy, diagnosis, medical care, or a validated clinical instrument. Use it to record your own observations and prepare questions, not to identify a condition or choose treatment. Adapt or stop any prompt that feels unsafe or distressing. Bring persistent sleep, mood, anxiety, medication, physical-symptom, or safety concerns to a licensed health professional; use emergency or local crisis services for immediate danger.
