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.
What the worksheets cover
- 1Your real day one ordinary shift on paper, and the in-between number that makes you late without ever feeling late
- 2Anchors instead of clock times wake, leave, clock in, break, clock out, sit down, bed; a night run and a day run use the same routine
- 3Waiting mode the hours lost before a shift starts, given an end you can hear
- 4The couch at 11:40 the transition problem that looks like a sleep problem
- 5The recovery day the day after a run of nights is a shift with no clock-in: three anchors, nothing else
- 6The shift itself when there is no desk, the plan lives on your body: a card, three things, behind the badge
- 7The money that leaves while you aren't looking find the leak, give every bill a face and a date, end the free-trial tax
- 8The paper pile three faces (needs money, needs a call, needs nothing) and one-minute readings of the pharmacy receipt and the "this is not a bill" letter
- 9Two weeks later the reset, and when a workbook is the wrong tool and a clinician is the right one
Who it is for
- Nurses, nursing assistants, and techs on rotating twelves and night runs.
- Line cooks, servers, drivers, warehouse and retail: anyone whose schedule someone else posts.
- Late-diagnosed adults who have bought an ADHD workbook before and stalled by chapter three.
- The partner or roommate: Module 11 is the one page you hand to them.
About this edition
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.
A rule, the arithmetic once, then your blanks.
How this book was checked.
- The manuscript went through twelve audit and QC passes before it was typeset, including a read as a physician who treats adult ADHD and a read as the target reader.
- Every number in the worked examples (times, amounts, dates) is held in one registry and was re-checked after every edit.
- The pages that mention paperwork from a pharmacy or an insurer were written by a licensed pharmacist who reads them for a living.

Questions readers ask before they buy.
Is this connected to a clinic, a treatment program, or a medication?
No. 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.
Do I need a diagnosis to use it?
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.
Will the worksheets go out of date?
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.
Do I need a computer to use it?
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.
Is the Kindle edition the same book?
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.
Can I print the worksheets more than once?
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.
Who wrote it?
Maren Tolliver writes workbooks for people whose days are not shaped like a desk job. Written by a licensed pharmacist.
What if you got something wrong?
