Once upon a time, before the shouting, the magic, and the inevitable “behind you!” there was a young woman who believed in one simple truth: life runs better with a plan.

This is the story of Cinderella, but not as you know her.

This Cinderella loves order, asks sensible questions, and faces chaos armed with lists, priorities and a very clear sense of what needs doing next.

So settle in, get organised, and prepare for a pantomime where even the magic has a checklist… because in this story, happily ever after doesn’t happen by accident.

🎄💖 My love of Christmas and business organisation might sound like two totally different worlds, but believe me, they're more connected than you'd think.

Imagine…..it's December (and sometimes even November). I'm sitting in my living room. Christmas candles lit, a box of Quality Streets open, surrounded by fairy lights and the most meticulously wrapped pile of presents you've ever seen. Each gift is wrapped with pinpoint precision.

And you know what? That's how I approach my business planning.

Growing up, Mum was the queen of Christmas organisation. I’m the middle of 5 children. We’d write our lists and she would be the keeper of said list (even into adulthood!) I remember her having lists of who gets what and what that all cost. Lists of food separated out for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. And they’d obviously be contingency food too!

Little did I know, she was teaching me the most valuable business lesson ever.

Just like planning the perfect Christmas, running a successful business is all about preparation, strategy, and those tiny details that make everything flow like magic. Think about it – when you're buying gifts, you're essentially planning a project. You're setting a budget, researching the perfect items, tracking your progress, and making sure everything comes together seamlessly on the big day.

In business, it's the same idea! You need a plan that's as carefully crafted as your Christmas wish list.
Your budget? That's your present budget.
Your goals? Those are the perfectly wrapped surprises you're preparing for your customers.
And your systems? They're like those colour-coded wrapped presents that keep everything organised.

The real magic happens when you treat your business with the same love and attention you'd give to creating the most festive Christmas time.

Imagine if you approached your quarterly goals with the same excitement as picking out the perfect present. Imagine tracking your sales targets with the same precision you use to wrap a box with ‘hospital bed cornered’ paper.

Start your business planning like you're Father Christmas checking his list twice. Make those spreadsheets, and break down your big goals

ADHD Awareness Month or not, here’s the bottom line, if you’re running a business with ADHD you don’t need to copy neurotypical strategies.

Build the backstage of your business with a simple, flexible system that works for you.

And it does not and will not, be the same for everyone.

Your business should work with you, not against you.

If something comes to mind and you can do it straight away, go for it!

With ADHD, tasks often exist in two time zones: now or not now, which all too often ends up being not at all. If you decide to tackle it later, make it intentional. Add it to your calendar or to-do list. Use a labelled alarm, a note, or a visual reminder in a spot you can’t miss. That way, it’s easier to follow through without relying on memory alone.

ADHD Awareness Month comes once a year, but these truths stand every day:

🧡 ADHD isn’t one-size-fits-all.
🧡 Systems should flex, not punish.
🧡 Regulation is harder than motivation.
🧡 Shame makes symptoms worse, not better.
🧡 Different ≠ defective.

In ADHD care, there’s no room for “should-ing.”

Piling on 'shoulds' only adds stress and sets up unrealistic expectations. Instead of judging your ideas or needs, focus on the tools and strategies that actually support you.

We’re all unique, and what works for one person won’t necessarily work for another. Rather than comparing yourself or your needs to what you think ‘should’ happen, allow yourself to do what’s genuinely helpful.

ADHD isn’t a moral failing. Executive function challenges are real, and blaming yourself doesn’t help. Keep an open mind about coaching or ways to create daily structures and routines that work for you, and approach choices with curiosity.

ADHD Awareness Month is a great excuse to bust myths.

Time blindness isn’t laziness - it’s brain wiring.

3tips to help
🧡Set alarms for transitions, not just start times.
🧡 Use visual timers, so time is something you can see.
🧡 Block in buffer time - everything takes longer than you think.

This month is about ADHD awareness for everyone.

If you support someone with ADHD:
🧡 Ask: “What support would make this easier?”
🧡 Give reminders with kindness, not judgement.
🧡 Celebrate progress, not perfection.

Since ADHD Awareness Month is about understanding how we really function, here’s the truth: routines don’t stick when they’re rigid.

Many people think “routine” means strict rules, and ADHDers often rebels against that.

🧡Tip 🧡
Create flexible anchors.
For example: instead of “I must write at 9am,” try “I’ll write after coffee.”
Anchors tie actions to cues, not the clock.

Let go of the idea that you “should” be able to remember everything.

Distraction and forgetfulness are part of ADHD, and that’s okay. Even experts follow checklists to stay on track. Pilots don’t skip theirs, no matter how many times they’ve flown. You can do the same with lists, sticky notes, reminders, alarms, or any system that works for you.

Offloading details like this saves mental energy and takes the pressure off worrying about forgetting.

ADHD Awareness Month is a reminder to push back against stigma.

Forget the “shoulds.”

🧡 Five ways to make planning less painful
1. Plan in short bursts (15 minutes max).
2. Start with just the next 2–3 days.
3. Use sticky notes instead of rigid lists.
4. Keep “emergency space” for the curveballs.
5. Cross out, not tear up — progress still counts.
