Description
π§οΈThe RAIN Journey π
π This Works With Your Other Tools We believe organizational systems are valuable for ADHD brains. But sometimes, you need to take care of yourself before becoming productive.
Like when anxiety makes you avoid your planner
β This helps you notice and regulate it

π§ This Works for ADHD Brains
β¦ Visual memory anchors Every image connects to the concept. Your brain remembers through pictures, not just words.
β¦ Color-coded system Research-backed color coding enhances memory and attention for ADHDers.
β¦ River metaphor throughout Abstract emotions become concrete. Visual learners get it instantly.
β¦ Multi-sensory engagement Check boxes, color in, write briefly. Hands busy = attention follows.
β¦ Body-based tools Emotion thermometer and body maps make fuzzy feelings tangible.
β¦ Short sections Complete a practice in 5 minutes. No text overload.
qβ’βββββββββββββ’γ
π‘ Less Really Is More
β¦ Every element has a purpose. No fluff, no filler.
β¦ Too many pages = cognitive overload = abandoned PDF.
β¦ Your attention is expensive. We protect it.
β¦ You'll actually use everything included. One cohesive system, not scattered templates.
qβ’βββββββββββββ’γ
π§ A Gentler Path to Mindfulness
Research shows mindfulness helps ADHD: focus, impulse control, emotional regulation.
But traditional meditation often feels impossible for ADHDers.
Sitting still for 20 minutes? Walking meditation in slow motion? Itβs frustrating.
β¦ This practice offers a different doorway.
β¦ Shorter sessions. Structured guidance. Visual support.
β¦ Not replacing traditional meditation. Meeting you where you are.
qβ’βββββββββββββ’γ
π± Digital Detox Built In
No app needed. No audio files. Just you and the practice.
β¦ Print it, and youβre good to go.
β¦ No notifications. No app switches. No "just one thing" distractions.
β¦ Sometimes paper is the most radical self-care.
qβ’βββββββββββββ’γ
π What Makes This Different
Most ADHD planners and organizing tools:
- Focus on productivity and organization
- But don't address emotionsβwhat often stops you from using them
- May lack mental health expertise in design
- scattered templates
Traditional Workbooks:
- text-heavy and demand sustained focus
- Professional but visually cluttered and colorless
- Reading them becomes another task to avoid
This one:Β
β¦ Directly trains attention and emotional regulation (the actual ADHD challenges)Β
β¦ Design choice is research-backed: color coding, visual metaphors, bite-sized sectionsΒ
β¦ Written AND designed by the same professionalβcontent and visuals speak the same languageΒ
β¦ Interactive and multi-sensoryβnot just reading, but doingΒ
β¦ One complete system that works together, nothing you wouldnβt need

π«§ Transparency in Creation
This product includes visual elements to support ADHD learning and attention.
To create images that align with the content while maintaining a consistent watercolor aesthetic at an accessible price, I used a combination of approaches: some visuals were hand-drawn, some use stock imagery, and some were generated with AI tools and then significantly modified and refined to meet the design standards.
