Our story
untangl-d was born when our founder, Helena, started her Masters while working two jobs and realised that traditional planning tools no longer worked for her. The overwhelm, task paralysis, and burnout she experienced highlighted a deeper truth: most planning systems assume a neurotypical level of executive functioning.
​
By piecing together what did work, simplicity, paper, and kind structure, Helena designed the Ultimate Planner Pad. From there, the untangl-d system grew. Each product is rooted in authenticity, lived experience, and expert insight.
​
Our mission is simple: to reframe productivity as something kind, calm, and authentic. We stand for rejecting hustle culture, embracing self-compassion, and creating space for clarity.
What is Neurodivergence?
Neurodivergence simply means 'brains that work differently'. Conditions like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and dyspraxia can affect how people process information, manage tasks, and handle daily life.
​
Executive dysfunction (difficulty starting tasks, organising, or prioritising) is common in neurodivergence. Task paralysis is a specific form of this: when overwhelm makes it feel impossible to begin.
​
untangl-d tools are designed with these realities in mind. They break tasks into smaller steps, reduce overwhelm, and create moments of calm clarity.
