Free quick start guide

The A-F CalendarSix categories. One calendar.

A way to run your week on something other than willpower.

One customizable system. No subscription to pay for or manage. It’s been my go-to for productivity and scheduling since 2023!

This system doesn’t treat everything like a priority, so you are in control of your focus areas.

The A-F Quick Start Guide is free, and it’s built to print if you’d rather have it on your desk than in a tab.

A AppointmentsTimed, usually with other people
B BottleneckBlocking something else, which makes it the highest priority
C Critical to SuccessBecomes a bottleneck if ignored
D Daily RoutineThe things that keep you running
E ExtrasWorth knowing, no action needed
F Flexible IdealNot time sensitive. This should be the biggest pile

Where this came from

I found the A-F Calendar System in 2023 when the YouTube algorithm gawds were smiling down on me. Danielle Colada posted it (titled How to time-block when you have ADHD) and I watched it over and over. Been using it ever since. This guide is the shortcut: what the six categories are, how to start, and what I changed to work for me. It’s just as customizable for you when you get the swing of things.
