The Brain Fog Backup Plan

A Practical Workbook & Planner for Memory, Focus and Productivity During Perimenopause and Menopause

If ordinary things have started taking more effort to hold in your head — the follow-up, the word you wanted, where you stopped, what you promised, the form you meant to send — this workbook gives those details somewhere else to live. It is built around practical pages for real workdays, home life, conversations and appointments, without turning your life into one giant tracking project.

An external brain

Loose ends and recurring information, out of your head.

Days with different capacity

Clear, okay, foggy and bare-minimum versions of the same day.

Before and after conversations

Meeting notes, questions and the follow-up you agreed to.

Quick Help pages

For the days when filling in another worksheet is the last thing you need.

What’s inside

An external brain for the parts of life that keep falling through the cracks.

The workbook moves from capture to action: an External Brain section for loose ends and recurring information; Today and Workday pages for capacity, priorities and interruption recovery; Communication pages for meetings, follow-up and word-finding moments; Work + Home pages for shutdown and life admin; a Weekly Reset; optional pattern pages; appointment preparation; and Quick Help pages for the days when filling in another worksheet is the last thing you need.

One purchase, two files

What you get

The file you buy. Print the whole thing, or only the pages you use.

  • The complete workbook as a print-ready PDF
  • 8.5 × 11 in, portrait
  • Prints on A4 using Fit to Page, at about 94%
  • Pages are optional — print the sections you need
  • Print shops can spiral or comb bind the printed pages for you
The interactive edition, open on a tablet

The interactive workbook

A separate download, included in the same purchase, for filling in on screen.

  • Downloaded with the QR code inside the printable PDF
  • Standard PDF form fields: tap, type and save
  • Works on a tablet or a computer
  • Linked contents, so you can jump between sections

Stop asking memory to hold the system

Reminders, unfinished tasks, dates and follow-ups go somewhere you can return to, instead of being rehearsed in your head.

Plan for the capacity you have

Clear, okay, foggy and bare-minimum day options make the plan smaller when concentration is limited, without writing the day off.

Walk into conversations prepared

Meeting notes, questions, figures and appointment points stay visible, so recall is not doing the work mid-conversation.

Not one more tracking project

The pages are optional and the Quick Help section exists for the days when you cannot face any of them.

See the layout before you buy

Three pages, straight out of the file, at the size they print.

The external brain

Before you buy

What exactly do I get with the digital edition?

A printable PDF of the whole workbook, bought from Google Play Books, with a QR code and download link inside the file for the interactive fillable edition.

What paper size is it?

8.5 × 11 in, portrait. It prints on A4 using the Fit to Page setting in your print dialogue, which scales it to about 94% and leaves a slightly wider margin — nothing is cut off.

How do I fill it in on a tablet?

Download the interactive edition using the link inside the PDF from Google Play Books. It uses standard PDF form fields: tap a field, type, then save the file so your entries are kept.

Is this medical advice?

No. It is a planning workbook, not a medical or symptom-treatment guide. It does not diagnose anything or recommend treatment, and it is not a substitute for talking to a doctor.

Where does the purchase actually happen?

On Google Play's own site. Payment, delivery and any refund are handled under Google's terms, not ours.
