Anti-Planner FAQ.

300+ pages, hand-illustrated by Dani (me, lol), organized into 5 colored chapters by feeling (Stuck, Overwhelmed, Unmotivated, Disorganized, Discouraged). Inside each chapter: short activities you can finish in 5–15 minutes when motivation is gone.

• 100+ unique exercises, prompts, and games
• Original comics on every chapter intro
• Drawing areas, coloring pages, and journal space
• Resource recommendations for each feeling
• Vegan leather, wire-o spiral binding so it stays flat while you write (writing in softcover books is such a pain, amirite)

Planners assume you already know what to do and just need to schedule it. The Anti-Planner assumes you can't make yourself do the thing—it's for the gap between knowing and doing.

So instead of dates, calendars, and habit trackers, you get activities that target the reason you're avoiding a task: feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unmotivated, disorganized, or discouraged.

Atomic Habits is a strategy book about building habits. A bullet journal is a blank notebook system. The Anti-Planner is an activity book for the moments when neither of those work.

Instead of relying on discipline or building consistency, it's about getting unstuck on the specific task you're avoiding right now. You don't need to use it daily... you grab it when your brain is screaming "NOT RIGHT NOW."

Anyone who knows what they need to do but struggles to make themselves do it. The Anti-Planner is especially helpful for people with ADHD, AuDHD, autism, CPTSD, depression, anxiety, burnout, or postpartum—basically anyone dealing with executive dysfunction in any form.

But you don't need a diagnosis. If the gap between knowing and doing is where you keep getting stuck, this is for you. Read more about why Dani made it →

If you fill in your planner but still struggle to actually do the things on it, that's exactly what this is for. The planner tells you what to do. The Anti-Planner helps you figure out how to make yourself do it when your brain won't cooperate.

The Original edition includes occasional swearing and adult humor; the Clean edition swaps it for workplace and kid-safe language. Same exercises, same page count!

Original = PG-13 version
Clean = PG version

Yeppp, especially if traditional planners / productivity tools have made you feel worse about yourself. The Anti-Planner is built around how ADHD brains actually work: short, low-pressure activities you can do in 5 minutes when motivation is gone and starting feels impossible.

100+ exercises that took over 3,000 hours to design + develop—hand-illustrated, reusable, and designed to work year after year!

You don't — and that's the whole point. The Anti-Planner isn't a daily ritual. It's a tool you grab when your brain won't cooperate.

Open it when something specific is blocking you. Flip to the chapter that matches how you feel: Stuck, Overwhelmed, Unmotivated, Disorganized, or Discouraged. Pick the activity that looks the most relevant (or most fun). Do it in 5–15 minutes. Close the book!

Yes!!! The Anti-Planner is meant to be written in, drawn in, scribbled on, and used. In the book, I recommend using pencil or erasable pen for the activities so you can reuse them again and again.

That being said, I'm a notorious perfectionist. So I also designed the book to be helpful even if you don't write in it. There are strategies, scripts, comics, and more that are still great even if you can't bring pen to paper.

That being said—a lot of people (like a lot, a lot) buy more than one copy so they can have a "pristine" copy and one they actually write in!

Omg, absolutely not. The Anti-Planner is for anyone dealing with procrastination, executive dysfunction, burnout, or low-motivation cycles, including: ADHD, AuDHD, autism, CPTSD, depression, and anxiety.

If "I know what I should do but I can't make myself do it" sounds familiar, this is for you.

Once your order ships, you'll get a tracking email automatically. If you missed it, search your inbox for "shopify" or "shipbob" and check your spam folder.

Orders ship from US ShipBob warehouses with 1–2 business day handling. Most US customers receive The Anti-Planner within 2–7 business days of ordering.

Tracking is emailed automatically once your order leaves the warehouse.

USA only right now. We used to ship internationally, but unfortunately the cost of selling in other countries is higher than the profit we make. We've paused EU/UK/CA/AU shipping until we can do it sustainably (AKA until we can invest in global marketing campaigns so we don't lose money).

International shipping is high on our priority list—join our newsletter to be the first to know when it's back!

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your address and order weight. We don't bake hidden fees into product prices.

Running a small business is really hard / expensive, and taking pre-orders allows me to pay for the products with capital raised in advance instead of putting myself into debt. Doing it this way means I can also order a higher quantity of items from the get-go, reducing overall costs and resulting in lower prices.

Pre-order items (like the Card Deck) list their estimated ship date on the product page. You'll get a tracking email the moment it leaves the warehouse.
