Stop paying the ADHD Tax. The fees, fines, and forgetfulness add up to over $1000 a year for most with ADHD. This week, it’s time to end the cycle.

This week we kick off a series of discussions on planning. First up, what is a planning system? What do we mean by planning tools? And what does it mean when your planning system falls apart on you?
