What an checklist covers

An helps you move from overwhelm to workable routines. Use this checklist to guide each coaching session and to track progress between sessions. Start by identifying the patterns that affect your day: missed tasks, difficulty starting, forgetfulness, emotional spikes, or energy crashes. Then break ADHD Coach those patterns into specific situations—morning routines, work deadlines, household admin, planning social commitments, or managing appointments. Your coaching plan becomes easier to follow when it targets “what happens” and “what to do next,” not just “what you struggle with.”

Checklist items to include: pick one priority for the week, define success in plain language, name the barriers (time blindness, distraction, perfectionism, decision fatigue), choose one support strategy, and note how you’ll measure improvement. Keep the checklist visible so it becomes a prompt, not another task.

Daily and weekly readiness checklist

Use a simple structure that supports attention and reduces friction. Try the following readiness steps before you begin complex tasks. First, do a quick “clarity check”: What is the outcome? What is the smallest first step? Second, do an “environment check”: reduce distractions, set up materials, and make the next action easy to reach. Third, do an “energy check”: confirm you have enough time, hydration, and a realistic workload.

For the weekly planning checklist, include: review commitments, select top outcomes, schedule focus blocks, assign buffer time for transitions, and choose one accountability method (a reminder, a review call, or a short check-in). When you document decisions clearly, you spend less mental energy chasing uncertainty.

Include a “reset” checklist too: what you’ll do when you miss a plan. This might be a quick breathing practice, a one-step recovery task, and a short note about what triggered the slip—so the next plan is smarter, not harsher.

Executive function support checklist

An London approach should strengthen executive function through personalised, practical tools. Consider this checklist for organisation, confidence, and wellbeing. For organisation: use a single place for key items, create task grouping categories, and convert vague goals into action steps. For confidence: log wins, track effort rather than perfection, and rehearse challenging conversations or situations using a simple script.

For attention and follow-through: try friction-reduction habits such as pre-filled “next steps,” time-boxing, and task chunking. For emotional regulation: list triggers, choose early signals you notice in your body, and practise one strategy that helps you regain balance. For communication and boundaries: document what you need, how to ask for it, and what you will say no to—so overwhelm doesn’t accumulate quietly.

Review the checklist after each coaching session. Keep what works, adjust what doesn’t, and set one experiment for the next round. Consistency beats intensity.
