Weekly
Evaluation

ADHD Executive Function Tools

A structured end-of-week review for surfacing what worked,
what didn’t, and what to carry forward.

Where This Tool Helps

Most leaders skip the weekly review not because they don’t value it, but because the week ends and momentum is already pointing at the next one. For people with ADHD, there’s an additional pull: the current moment is always more compelling than looking back at a week that’s already closed.

The problem with skipping it is that patterns stay invisible. The same struggle appears in week three, week seven, and week twelve — and because there’s no record, it feels like a new problem each time. This evaluation creates that record. Victories and struggles named once become data. Data surfaced consistently becomes something you can actually work with.

This tool is two pages: the first is direct — wins, struggles, what to change. The second goes deeper into the questions that reveal what was really happening underneath the week. Done together, they close one week and set up the next with something more useful than a blank calendar.

How to Use This Evaluation

  1. Do the evaluation within 24 hours of the week ending. The further out you get, the more the week becomes a blur of “fine” or “bad.” While details are still available, use them.
  2. Write Victories before Struggles. Not as positive thinking — as accuracy. People with ADHD tend to weight what went wrong more heavily than what went right. Writing what worked first corrects that bias before it distorts the rest.
  3. Be specific in the Struggles section. “Bad week” is not a struggle — it’s a verdict. Name what specifically didn’t work: a meeting that derailed the afternoon, a task that got deferred four times, a conversation that felt unfinished.
  4. Answer the seven review questions in order. The sequence matters — it builds from actions to insights to feelings. Skipping to the end loses the progression.
  5. Bring the limiting belief question to your next coaching session. That one tends to be the most productive. If you wrote something down, don’t let it sit on the page.

Before Your Next Session

The questions below are meant to be read after you’ve completed both pages. They connect what you wrote to something worth bringing into a coaching conversation — not because every evaluation needs a debrief, but because some of what surfaces here is too useful to leave on the page.

Look at what you wrote under Struggles and under Limiting Beliefs (question 5). If the same item — or a close variation of it — appeared in last week’s evaluation as well, you have a pattern. What is it costing you, and what has kept it in place?

Look at your Victories and your answer to question 3. Is there anything there you didn’t expect to accomplish? If so, what made it possible — and how often do those conditions exist?

In your answer to How Could You Make Next Week Better, did you name a structural change or a behavioral one? Structural changes (different schedule, clearer boundaries, removed commitments) often have more leverage than behavioral ones (try harder, start earlier). Which do you most need right now?
