Your Future ADHD Self: An ADHD-Friendly Guide to Planning and Goal Setting

by Jeffrey Rice

People with ADHD struggle with planning and goal setting. The concepts are understandable and the strategies we are taught make sense. Yet, we can’t seem to make ourselves do it consistently—if at all. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. And you are not the problem! Using a script not designed to work with your ADHD brain, it is almost impossible to be a good planner and goal setter.

This book provides tools for the ADHD brain to implement practical strategies for successful goal setting and planning. Jeff shares his thoughts and experiences, as well as some of the science, as to why those “standard” tools just don’t work for the ADHD brain.

Finally! I book for planning, setting goals and creating action steps wired for my brain. Super helpful and easy to follow.

Highly recommend this book to anyone who has ADHD or loves someone with ADHD.
This book is written incredibly well, the set up is simple and effective and very easy to get through, as he clearly wrote it for a neurodivergent audience. It’s chock full of information, facts, statistics, and data as well as easy to follow key points to help your day to day life.

As someone who was diagnosed as an adult, it’s been an uphill battle learning who I am all over again and this book has given me many lightbulb moments and much needed peace of mind.

Your Future ADHD Self is a refreshingly compassionate and practical guide for anyone navigating life with ADHD. Jeffrey Rice doesn’t blame the reader for struggling he reframes the problem entirely. Instead of forcing traditional planning methods, he offers strategies that actually work with an ADHD brain.

What stood out to me most was the tone: validating, realistic, and empowering. This book feels like it was written by someone who truly understands the internal battle between intention and follow through.

‘now, or not now’

yeah so i’ve definitely gotta get diagnosed at this point. insane how much of this book resonated with me and my stupid little brain.
i did listen to the audiobook (my first time without having the physical book alongside it), so i didn’t catch everything rice was saying, and some of the greater goal planning strategies went over my head (as i currently have no clue where i want to be in 10 - 20 years), but overall a great insight.
