How to Use Reflections – And Why It’s So Good

DECEMBER 14,2024

Living with ADHD often means racing thoughts, self-criticism, and forgetting to pause and notice progress. The Reflections tool in the ADHD Planner App is designed to help you slow down, check in, and celebrate wins – big or small.

I’ve always struggled with keeping up habits, but the way this planner breaks things down into small steps makes it so much easier.

🔧 How to Use It
 

Open the Reflections tab in your app.

Pick a time of day that works for you – morning for setting intentions, or evening for winding down.

Write a few short notes:

What went well today?

What was challenging?

How am I feeling right now?

Add optional tags (like “work,” “self-care,” “relationships”) to track patterns over time.

Review past reflections whenever you need perspective or motivation.

 

🌟 Why It’s So Good for ADHD Minds
 

Encourages self-awareness: Writing down your thoughts helps you notice triggers, strengths, and progress.

Shifts focus to the positive: Instead of just seeing “what went wrong,” reflections highlight what you’re achieving.

Supports emotional regulation: Putting feelings into words reduces stress and creates mental clarity.

Builds consistency without pressure: A few quick sentences a day is enough – no long journaling required.

Boosts confidence over time: Looking back on weeks of reflections shows how much you’ve grown.

 

✨ The bottom line: Reflections aren’t about perfection – they’re about progress, self-kindness, and growth. For ADHDers, this simple habit can reduce overwhelm, build confidence, and create a healthier relationship with your daily life.
