Office Supplies & Productivity

Anti-Planner

This is my favorite option for neurodivergent brains that shut down at the sight of traditional tasks. It is broken out by emotional responses to tasks (stuck, overwhelmed, etc). It leans into experimentation, self-compassion, gameifying, and tiny steps instead of rigid schedules. I like it for teens and adults who feel like they keep ‘failing at tasks’ and need something that actually understands executive function challenges.

Skylight Calendar

The Skylight Calendar (I have the 15 inch) has been a total lifesaver for organizing my ADHD brain and our family’s schedules. I love seeing everyone’s day laid out visually at a glance, which cuts through the mental fog of “what’s next?” With the subscription, it doubles as a digital picture frame. The app is dead simple to sync everything, and the meal planning feature keeps our weekly dinners from turning into decision paralysis.

Skylight Calendar

The 27-inch version of the Skylight Calendar - a larger display for a more prominent family command center. Same great features as the 15” but with more screen real estate for busy family schedules.

Retractable Keychain

The retractable key chain is my simple defense against my chronic key-losing habit - it keeps them securely clipped to my bag or belt so they’re always close by. No more digging through purses, couch cushions, or the entire house in a panic before a session or errand. I love how it gives my ADHD brain one less thing to stress about while feeling practical and unobtrusive all day long.

Furniture & Home

ADHD Chair

If you love sitting in funky positions (one leg up, one leg under, criss cross, backwards, frog style) but hate the joint ache that comes with it, this chair makes it possible to work or relax comfortably for hours. The wide seat and low design let you tuck your legs in naturally without feeling wobbly or misaligned. I reach for it during long telehealth days, when I have to do paperwork, or when I need to settle my fidgety energy - it’s a simple way to honor how my body actually wants to sit.

Business Supplies

Blinq Digital

The Blinq business card is a sleek, digital upgrade that I love for networking without the clutter of paper cards piling up. You just tap it to someone’s phone to instantly share your contact info, website, or socials, which feels modern and memorable - especially at conferences or casual meetups. It’s cut down my “where’d I put that card?” moments and keeps my ADHD-friendly branding consistent without wasting trees.

Books

Midnight Library

The Midnight Library is a beautiful, reflective novel about regret, choice, and the many lives we might have lived. It’s gentle but thought‑provoking, and often resonates with clients who are rethinking their paths, identities, or priorities. I like recommending it to adults who enjoy fiction that feels emotionally validating and hopeful without being cheesy.

4 agreementa

The Four Agreements is a short, accessible book that offers simple guidelines for living with more clarity and self‑respect. Its ideas—like not taking things personally and being impeccable with your word—often land well in therapy work around boundaries and self‑talk. I recommend it for people who want a quick, repeatable framework to come back to when life feels noisy and overwhelming.

Let Them

This ‘Let Them’ resource is great for people who expend a lot of energy trying to manage others’ reactions, choices, or opinions. The core idea—letting people show you who they are and not chasing or controlling—is both freeing and uncomfortable in the best way. I like it for clients working on boundaries, people‑pleasing, and stepping out of chronic overfunctioning.

Limtless

Limitless is an energizing read for folks who want practical tools to learn more effectively, remember better, and feel less mentally cluttered. It combines mindset work with specific techniques, which can be especially helpful for ADHDers, students, and lifelong learners. I often recommend it to people who feel ‘behind’ or ‘not smart enough’ and need both skills and encouragement to see their brain differently.

Games

Dutch Blitz

Dutch Blitz is a fast, easy-to-learn family card game that works well when you don’t have a lot of time or attention to spare. I like it because the rules are straightforward, but the gameplay is quick and energetic, so a few rounds can fit between activities or at the end of a long day. The expansion packs make it possible to include lots of players across many ages. It definitely gets a little chaotic at the table, but that chaos is part of what makes it genuinely fun and laughter-filled rather than high-pressure.

KingDomino

Kingdomino is a quick, easy-to-learn tile-laying game that still feels clever every time you play. You’re just matching terrain types like dominoes, but the way you build your own little kingdom and multiply your scores makes the decisions surprisingly thoughtful. I originally bought it for my nephew, but after he went to bed the adults kept playing, which tells you a lot about how fun it is across ages. I like it for mixed-age groups or tired brains at the end of the day - rounds are short, the rules click fast, and you still get that satisfying “look what I built” feeling when you’re done.

Travel Cribbage

Cribbage is one of my favorite “always in your bag” games because it’s simple to play once you know the rules, but the counting still keeps your brain engaged. I especially enjoy the rhythm of adding up points in your hand and on the board - there’s just enough mental challenge without feeling exhausting. I keep a small travel cribbage board in my purse so it’s easy to pull out while waiting at restaurants, the DMV, airports, or between activities, and it turns dead time into something a lot more pleasant and connected.

Forbidden Island

Forbidden Island is a cooperative adventure game where everyone works together to grab treasures and escape before the island sinks. The rules are simple enough to learn in a single sitting, but there’s still just enough strategy to feel engaging for older kids and adults. I like it for families who want a fast, shared-team experience instead of more sibling-vs-sibling conflict around the table.

Forbidden Desert

Forbidden Desert takes the same cooperative feel as Forbidden Island and adds a bit more challenge and tension. You’re exploring a shifting desert, managing sand, and trying not to run out of water, which makes it a great next step for families who enjoy strategy but don’t want something overly complicated. I recommend it for older kids, teens, and adults who like working together under pressure and solving a shared puzzle.

Forbidden Jungle

Forbidden Jungle is the most complex of the series and is great for groups who already enjoy Forbidden Island or Forbidden Desert and want something deeper. You’re navigating a dangerous alien jungle, trying to survive long enough to repair a portal and escape, which adds fun layers of planning and risk-taking. I like this one for families with game-experienced teens or adult groups who want a cooperative game night that feels a little more involved without being overwhelming.

Toil and Troublez

Toil and Trouble has an easy entry point - simple actions and clear turns - but the way players interact makes the gameplay feel delightfully unexpected. You get those little moments of “aha” and surprise without having to plan ten steps ahead. It’s a great fit for groups who want something thematic and fun that still offers enough strategy to keep everyone, kids and adults, genuinely interested.

Cover your assets

Cover Your Assets is fast, silly, and more clever than it looks at first glance. The rules are simple enough for mixed ages to jump right in, but the way you stack and steal sets creates lots of unexpected swings and big laughs. I like it as a low-stakes, high-energy game for families or groups who enjoy a little chaos and surprise without needing to learn a complicated rulebook.

Splendor

Splendor has very simple rules, but the way the gems and cards stack together creates surprisingly thoughtful decisions. Turns are quick, so it stays engaging without feeling stressful, and players can talk or hang out while they plan their next move. I like it for families or friend groups who want something easy to learn that still feels smart and satisfying every time you play.

Kanoodle

Kanoodle is a compact puzzle game I love using as a solitary regulation activity during social gatherings. It gives your hands and brain just enough to do that you can stay present in the room without getting swept away by overwhelm. The small, self-contained challenges make it easy to pick up and put down between conversations, which is especially helpful for neurodivergent folks who need quiet focus breaks but still want to be with their people.

Otrio

Otrio is a visually engaging, modern twist on tic-tac-toe that’s easy to learn but surprisingly strategic. The rules are simple - line up three of your pieces in a row, in the same size, in ascending/descending size, or nested - but the multiple ways to win keep adults genuinely interested too. It’s great for mixed-age groups because younger players can focus on simple matching while older players think a few moves ahead. I like it as a quick, hands-on game that exercises pattern recognition and planning without feeling heavy or complicated.

Rack-o

Rack-O is one of my favorite low-brainpower games for family gatherings. Once everyone knows the simple goal - get your cards into numerical order - you can easily play while chatting and staying socially engaged. The turns are quick and repetitive in a soothing way, which makes it perfect for evenings when people are tired or enjoying a drink and don’t want anything complicated. It’s a great option when you want shared connection and a bit of friendly competition without needing intense focus or strategy.

Shifting Stones

Shifting Stones is a lovely little pattern-building game where the rules are straightforward, but the choices are more interesting than they first appear. You’re constantly deciding whether to move, flip, or use tiles as they are, which makes each round feel a bit like solving a new puzzle. I recommend it for people who enjoy quiet, thoughtful games that don’t take long to explain or set up.

Gentle Rain

A Gentle Rain is a calm, solo tile-laying puzzle that feels more like a mindfulness practice than a competitive game. I like to do it while I drink tea or coffee, either to cope ahead for a long day or to regulate after a frazzling moment. The slow, intentional tile-placing gives your hands something to do and your brain something gentle to focus on, which makes it a lovely option for anxious or neurodivergent folks who want a low-pressure, screen-free reset.

Gentle Rain Bloom

A Gentle Rain: Bloom Edition keeps the same peaceful, solo puzzle feel as the original but adds even more color and sensory appeal. I tend to reach for this one with a warm drink when I need a tiny ritual to help me settle - either before a big day or after everything has felt like too much. The colorful flower tokens and cozy, repetitive play make it especially nice for visual, sensory-seeking brains who want something soothing and pretty to help them come back down to baseline.

IQ Steps

IQ Twist is another great solitary regulation tool for people who want to be part of a social gathering but get overstimulated easily. The simple, colorful logic puzzles offer a gentle focus point so your nervous system can settle while you’re still physically present in the space. I like it for kids, teens, and adults who benefit from having something structured and quiet to do with their hands instead of scrolling or fully withdrawing from the group.

Trash Pandas

Trash Pandas is a quick, quirky card game where you roll a die to grab tokens and build sets of raccoon trash treasures. The rules are simple enough to pick up fast, but the push-your-luck decisions and stealing from others create hilarious, unexpected moments. I like it for family game nights or casual hangouts because it’s lighthearted chaos that sparks laughs and easy conversation without needing much strategy or setup time.
