How to plan

How do I time block when I have ADHD?

Time blocking works with ADHD when you block fewer things, add generous buffers, and treat the plan as a draft rather than a contract. Start by picking only two or three real priorities for the day, give each a block that is longer than you think it needs, and leave empty gaps between them for the transitions and overruns that always happen. Assign hard tasks to your best-energy window instead of spreading them evenly across a day your energy never actually matches. The part that trips most people up is the moment a block slips, because one missed block cascades into an impossible afternoon. That is exactly the work we automated in Orby: you dump your goals in plain language, our AI lays them into real open time around your calendar with honest buffers, and when a block slides we quietly rebuild the rest instead of leaving you to redo it. Time blocking stops being a chore when the blocking, and the reblocking, is done for you.
