FAQ
Book Questions
When will I get my book?
Ignore any shipping dates printed on the email confirmation, but shipping for the FIRST batch of pre-orders (purchased before Dec 15th, 2022) began in November 2022, and is ongoing as of February 2023. Shipping for the SECOND batch of pre-orders (purchased between Dec. 15, 2022 and Feb. 4, 2023) will begin in late spring 2023. Shipping for the THIRD batch of pre-orders (purchased after Feb. 4, 2023) will begin summer 2023.
Will there be a digital edition?
Right now, I’m focused on getting the print edition out, and do not have plans to release a digital version. However, everyone who pre-orders the book is given access to 25+ exclusive PDF activities to tide y’all over while you wait!
Is the Anti-Planner suitable for children?
There will be a family-friendly version eventually, but this one is designed with adults in mind and has some cussing throughout. That said, there are plenty of activities you might want to share with children!
I don't have ADHD, will this book be helpful for me?
The Anti-Planner was designed for anyone who struggles with procrastination and executive dysfunction, which often includes people in the neurodiverse community. However, the activities and strategies are useful for ANYONE feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unmotivated, disorganized, or discouraged.
I'm left handed! Will this book work for me?
Spiral binding means that you can lay the book flat, and I’ve also added exercises in this book on both sides of the spirals, so it is equally comfy for everyone regardless of which you hand you prefer!
Why is this book so expensive?
Turns out that there are a lot of elements that go into getting a book self-published! I wrote, designed, illustrated, edited, and prepared 100% of the book contents myself. (And I’m really proud of myself for that!) It was important to me from the beginning that this book be something that I would want to use myself – which means a soft cover, ring binding, tabbed interior, etc. – and all of those elements are added costs. And the books also have to be produced & printed, shipped to warehouses across the world, stored in those warehouses, fulfilled and shipped to customers, and then customer service is needed to handle any issues along the way. All of this adds up to the book being pricier than a typical planner, but this ain’t your typical planner! (Also: it’s not a planner)
Does the planner have dates in it?
I’ve named this book The Anti-Planner, because it is NOT a traditional planner – those have never worked for me. There are no dates or empty spaces to write dates in, but there are 5 sections packed full of activities, games, strategies, and more to help you get things done.
Shipping
Do you ship to my country?
Yes! The Anti-Planner ships worldwide.
My book is supposed to be discounted as $43 but your payment gate is charging me more!
Your total cost is including the flat rate shipping cost ($10.99 for US, $14.99 or $17.99 for most other countries) in the checkout summary. Most 1-book totals will come to around $57 USD after tax.
Can I change my address after I place a pre-order?
Yes! If you already have an account, you can log in to your account on this website and update it yourself there, then send an email to anti-planner at adhddd.com so we can update it on your order!
I ordered something (mug/poster/etc.) from Dani's store plus The Anti-Planner, but wasn't able to purchase them together. Can they be shipped together?
Unfortunately not! Pre-orders cannot be purchased nor shipped together at this time. I’m working on a solution to this, but for now it’s not possible. âšď¸
Miscellaneous
I want to add another book to my order...
Unfortunately, after a pre-order has been paid for, the item quantity cannot be adjusted. However, feel free to place a separate order!

Wow! This book is so good. It feels like it was written specifically to address all of my biggest personal challenges. And does it in a way that keeps those challenges in mind. It is visually appealing, bite size exercises that are organized in a manner that you can quickly find what you need in your context. The writing style makes it feel like you have a great friend sitting with you just trying to help you out without judgement. Itâs also really funnyâŚboth the writing and the cartoons. Well worth the wait. I love this book. Absolutely astounding job on this, Dani!

My copy of The Anti-Planner arrived today. Wow. I have SO MUCH sh*t that needs to be done, and am not getting it done. I am extremely good at plans, planners, calendars, analysis, and the whole range of conventional Planner tools & skills… and The Anti-Planner takes a whole different approach. VERY STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!
