The 26 minutes between the alarm and the door
Most time advice asks you to estimate better. This asks you to count one ordinary morning, once, and plan around the number instead of the hope.

12 Executive Function Tools for Adults Who Don't Work at a Desk, Each With a Two-Minute Version: Shift Workers, Nurses, Cooks, and Drivers
By Maren Tolliver · Clear Table Press
Sold and shipped by Amazon. The Kindle edition is on its way; leave your email below and you get one note the day it is live.
Every ADHD time-management book assumes a desk. Dez is a nursing assistant on rotating twelves, and twenty-six minutes disappear between the alarm and the door four shifts out of five. Marisol runs a restaurant line four nights a week. Theo drives a parcel route that starts at 5 a.m. None of them works at a desk, and every routine they were ever handed was written for someone who does.
This is a fill-in workbook at full letter size, in 13-point type, built for the day you actually have. Twelve tools, each one shown filled in for one of those three people before you fill in your own. Every tool has a two-minute version in a box, for the days the full page is too much. The two-minute version is not a consolation prize. It is the restart.
You do not need a diagnosis to use it, and it will not give you one. You need one ordinary shift, a pencil, and about twenty minutes for the first page. Seven pocket cards at the back are sized for a badge reel, a coat pocket, or a visor.
This is the first edition. The tools in it do not depend on dated figures, so there is no yearly re-render; corrections go into the free worksheet set as soon as they are found and into the next printing. The Kindle edition is the same text and points to the free printable set for the fill-in pages.
This workbook is educational. It is not medical, psychological, or ADHD treatment advice, does not discuss medication, and will not tell you whether you have ADHD. Written by a licensed pharmacist; education and skills practice, not treatment.
The first 13 pages as a PDF: Read This First, Worksheet 0 (your anchors), and all of Module 1 with Worksheet 1. 13 pages, 0.1 MB, opens in your browser.
All 13 worksheets and 7 print-and-cut pocket cards as one letter-size PDF. Print them as many times as you like, for a second try or for a parent. The address printed in the book is cleartablepress.com/adhd.

Read the articleNo. Clear Table Press is an independent publisher. The workbook is education and skills practice, not treatment. It does not discuss medication and will not tell you whether you have ADHD. Nobody from the press will contact you.
No. The tools are for anyone whose routines collapse when a schedule changes. The last module says plainly when a workbook is the wrong tool and a clinician is the right one.
No. Nothing in the set depends on yearly figures. If a page changes because of a correction, the file at this address is replaced and one email goes out.
No. The paperback is a fill-in workbook with a pencil in mind. The free worksheets on this site are for printing extra copies and for Kindle readers.
Same text, same worked examples. Because a screen cannot be written on, the Kindle edition points you to the free printable worksheet set at cleartablepress.com/adhd for the fill-in pages.
Yes. Print as many copies as you like; the two-week reset asks you to measure again, and a clean copy is easier than erasing. No email address is required.
