There are lots of winter holiday planners out there.

Not a lot of them are particularly ADHD, Autism or neurodivergence-friendly, though!

So we created this one to reduce holiday stress, hassle and overwhelm so you can:

  • regain a sense of calm,
  • practice being kind to yourself, and
  • feel that you can be you.

Waiting for you on the pages ahead is a combination of guided self-care and planning pages to help you get things out of your head & neatly organised, freeing up mental headspace to find the accommodations you need to enjoy the year-end.

And you won’t be alone – we’ll be there with you throughout with tips and suggestions.

We hope this planner gives you the ability to take a big, full breath again and exhale with joy and contentment.

Here’s to a splendid festive season!

Stay weird,

Livia, Adam & Nora

What’s in the workbook?

The first part is a series of thematic planning pages that support you in this often hectic time.

  • You can detail your sensory toolkit,
  • list your adaptation needs,
  • prepare strategies for uncomfortable situations before they happen, like setting boundaries
  • and even create a support page for an advocate so they know how they can help you.

We want to set you up for success and minimise those pesky, superfluous to-dos, so permission granted to be selective. Work only with the pages that are most important to your well-being, and feel free to skip the rest.

The second part is all about lists and ideas – these planner pages help you explore what you want from the festive season, whether it’s decorations, gift ideas, meal plans or holiday cards.

  • You can use the calendar pages as a classic diary to schedule activities and deadlines: When are you going gift shopping? When is that cute festive after-work taking place? When do you need to post the greeting cards and when are you picking them out?
  • You can track your DIY present progress, preparation tasks and gift ideas, and focus on the things that are most important to you during this season.
  • These pages give you an overview of the most important milestones which you can later break down into ideas and preparatory tasks.
  • We also included a colouring page just for fun. 🙂
