Donna is an executive function partner for people with ADHD and anyone who has trouble starting. It holds the plan, prioritizes, tracks time, and shows you one next step at a time. Donna runs in the browser, with a layout that adapts to a phone screen, and you can type to it or say it out loud and let it land as text. Each part has its own page; the pointers below take you to them.

The ideas behind Donna

  • What Donna does, and what you do: the division of labor. Donna carries the planning, prioritizing, and reframing; you approve each step or skip it, and do the work yourself.
  • Outcomes: the durable things you are trying to land, each with a picture of what “done” looks like.
  • Cycles: short commitments toward one Outcome, sized so you can picture finishing.
  • Actions: the single next step, built fresh each time from your Outcome, your calendar, and the kind of day you are having.
  • Capture: the holding place for loose ends, so nothing has to stay in your head.

The shape of a day

A day with Donna starts with the morning check-in, the one moment each day Donna opens with something first: a short brief and one proposed opening move. From there you work one Action at a time, and you can close out the day when you are done. For one specific struggle (starting, a deadline, a habit that keeps breaking), the ADHD guides cover what helps and how Donna runs it.
