The Clear Forward Tools™
Practical ADHD Tools for Clarity and Focus
If you’re living with ADHD and often feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. Many people with ADHD carry the weight of unfinished tasks, scattered thoughts, and mounting guilt.
That’s why I created The Clear Forward Tools™, a five-step ADHD coaching framework designed to bring structure, clarity, and calm to everyday life.
This ADHD-friendly approach helps you move forward at your own pace. It works with your brain, not against it, and gives you practical tools that support focus, motivation, and self-compassion.
You’ll find the Clear Forward Tools woven into 18 ADHD coaching course, each one focusing on real-life challenges like binge cycles, body confidence, hormones, overthinking, decision fatigue, boundaries, and masking. You can choose to buy a single course, bundle six at a discounted price, or combine the digital programme with one-to-one ADHD coaching sessions for extra support.
You can also discover ADHD resources and recordings in my shop page.
What Are The Clear Forward Tools™?
The Clear Forward Tools™ are my five-step ADHD coaching framework designed to give you quick, practical strategies you can use in everyday life. The tools blend ADHD-friendly tools, mindfulness techniques, and simple resets that work with your brain, not against it.
The five steps are:
CLEAR the Noise – offload mental clutter so you can focus on what matters
LOOK at What Matters – decide what’s most important right now
ENGAGE with a Micro Step – start tiny and build momentum without pressure
ACKNOWLEDGE Progress – notice the wins, even the small ones
REFLECT & Reset – pause with kindness and adjust without guilt
The Clear Forward Tools are flexible, you don’t need to use all five steps at once, or in order. Just choose the step that helps most in the moment, whether it’s daily, weekly, or whenever things feel chaotic or unclear.
The Clear Forward Tools in Five Steps
The Clear Forward Tools™ are simple steps you can return to anytime life feels busy, messy, or overwhelming. Each step is gentle, ADHD-friendly, and designed to help you reset, refocus, and move forward.
CLEAR the Noise
Set a timer and get everything out of your head, thoughts, tasks, worries. Offload the clutter so your mind feels lighter.
LOOK at What Matters
Decide what’s most important right now. Ask yourself: What one thing would make today feel 5% lighter?
ENGAGE with a Micro Step
Start tiny, one dish, one email, one sentence. Progress, not perfection, creates momentum.
ACKNOWLEDGE Progress
Notice what you’ve already done. Celebrate small wins, tick tasks off, and remind yourself: that counts.
REFLECT & Reset
Pause, breathe, and reset without guilt. Carry forward what worked, let go of what didn’t, and move on with kindness.
The Clear Forward Method in Six Steps
Step 1: Clear the Noise
Set a timer and get everything out of your head — thoughts, tasks, worries. Clear space to think clearer.
Step 2: Choose Your Focus
Pick three intentions that feel right for this month. What matters most? What would support you?
Step 3: Forward in Motion
Pause and reflect. What worked, what didn’t, and why? Use curiosity to gently adjust and move on.
Step 4: Big Tick Energy
Celebrate every win — even the tiny ones. Ticking things off boosts motivation and builds momentum.
Step 5: Reflect & Reset
Pause and reflect. What worked, what didn’t, and why? Use curiosity to gently adjust and move on.
Step Six: Bonus Wins
Notice anything extra you achieved this month. Unplanned progress still counts — write it down.
