Template Drawer vs The Coach Hub: which Notion template is right for ADHD coaches?

Last updated: May 2026

AI Overview: Template Drawer and The Coach Hub are both Notion templates for ADHD coaches managing clients. The Coach Hub is a full coaching CRM at around $197; Template Drawer C2-08 is a single-next-action client tracker at €99 with stricter scope.

The quick verdict (if you're in a rush)

Both templates are good. They solve different problems. Picking the wrong one is the most expensive mistake you can make here, so let's get this right in 250 words.

Get The Coach Hub if:

• You want one-stop CRM behaviour - invoicing notes, session logs, client pipelines, lead capture, marketing snippets, all under one roof.
• You actually enjoy CRM workflows and don't bounce off them.
• You have 50+ active clients, and admin time is your bottleneck (not your memory).
• You're scaling a practice and want a template that grows with the business side.
• You don't mind paying ~$197 for breadth.

Get Template Drawer C2-08 if:

• Your working memory is the bottleneck, not your admin pipeline.
• You have 15-40 active clients (the sweet spot for the single-next-action method).
• You want less software, not more. You've been burned by bloat.
• You've bought Notion templates before and never finished setting them up.
• €99 is closer to your "yes, this is a tool, not a project" threshold.

If you're a solo ADHD coach with a small but active book, and the problem you're trying to solve is "I keep forgetting what the next move is for each client between sessions" - you want C2-08. If you're running a coaching business that needs CRM infrastructure as much as it needs memory support, The Coach Hub is the better fit. Both can be true at different stages.

Side-by-side comparison

The two products in depth

The Coach Hub - what it is, what it does well

The Coach Hub has been around long enough to build a real reputation in the Notion-template-for-coaches niche. The team has clearly put work into polish: the visual design is clean, the bundles are well-organized, and there's a sense of "this is a business, not a side project." That matters when you're buying software you'll live inside.

What it does well:

• Breadth. If you want one Notion workspace that handles client management plus invoicing notes plus marketing plus lead capture, this is closer to that vision than C2-08 is.
• Scale. It's built to handle a larger book of clients without buckling. If you've got 80 active clients, you're not going to outgrow it next quarter.
• CRM logic. Pipelines, statuses, stages - if your brain works that way, it'll feel like home.
• Polish. The visual hierarchy is mature. Things have icons. Pages are themed. It looks like a product you paid $197 for.

Where it might be too much:

• If your problem is "I can't remember what I told my client last week," more fields and more views won't fix that - they'll make it worse.
• The setup is real work. Plan 45-90 minutes minimum to make it yours.
• If you're the kind of person who bought three CRMs in the last two years and used none of them, this is statistically likely to become the fourth.

The Coach Hub isn't bloated by accident. The breadth is the point. It's just not the right point for every coach.

Template Drawer C2-08 - what it is, what it does well

C2-08 is the ADHD Coach Client Tracker. It's part of the Template Drawer collection, which launched in May 2026 with one rule per template: do one thing, do it well, don't make the buyer set up a CRM at 11pm on a Tuesday.

The discipline at the core of C2-08 is the single-next-action method. Each client gets one current next action - not a list, not a backlog, not a column of statuses. One thing. The thing you're doing next for them. When you complete it, you set the next one. That's the entire loop.

This sounds reductive until you've coached fifteen people in a week and realized you can't remember which one needed the journaling worksheet and which one was waiting on you to send the medication conversation primer. The single-next-action rule means there's never more than one answer to "what's the next move for this client." You either remember it or you read the line. Done.

What's in the Pro tier (€99, the only tier):

• Client database with single-next-action field per client
• Session notes that link to clients
• Follow-up dates with a clean weekly view that shows "this week's next actions" without forcing you to filter
• A short setup guide written for the ADHD brain (not a 40-step onboarding)
• The "body-double helper" - a small AI prompt template you can paste into Claude or ChatGPT to talk through your client list when you're stuck
• Quarterly updates, free for life, no upsell ladder

The philosophy: less is the feature. Every field we don't add is a field you don't have to maintain. Every view we don't include is a view you don't bounce off. The tool stays small on purpose so you actually use it.

What's distinct about C2-08 isn't that it has things The Coach Hub doesn't. It's that it removed things on purpose, and built the discipline of removal into the workflow.

The five honest questions to ask yourself before buying either

Here's the rub: most coaches who buy a Notion template don't use it. That's the actual problem you're trying to dodge, not "which template is better." So before you click buy on either tool, work through these five questions honestly.

1. Is my bottleneck working memory or admin time?

This is the question. Answer it before anything else.

If your bottleneck is working memory - you forget what you told clients, you lose the thread between sessions, you spend the first ten minutes of each call trying to remember where you left off - your tool is C2-08. The single-next-action method is literally designed for that exact failure mode.

If your bottleneck is admin time - you've got the memory, you've got the workflow, but you're spending too long on invoicing prep, lead follow-up, marketing assets, intake forms - your tool is The Coach Hub. It will save you hours of admin work that C2-08 isn't trying to touch.

Pick the tool that matches the actual bottleneck. Not the bottleneck you wish you had.

2. How many active clients do I really have, today?

"Active" means you've talked to them in the last 6 weeks, not "people who once paid me."

Under 15: honestly, you might not need either yet. A pinned Notion page or a Google Doc per client is enough. Don't over-tool the problem.

15-40: C2-08 sweet spot. The single-next-action view stays scannable.

40-80: C2-08 still works, but you might start wanting the breadth The Coach Hub offers.

80+: Coach Hub or a proper CRM. C2-08 is intentionally small and you'd be fighting it.

3. Do I like CRMs, or do I bounce off them?

Be honest with yourself. Past behaviour is the predictor.

If you've used Notion or Airtable or HubSpot or Pipedrive for more than 6 months without abandoning it, CRMs work for your brain. The Coach Hub will land. Buy it.

If you've bought three CRMs in the last two years and used none of them past week two - that's a pattern, not a coincidence. The Coach Hub will be the fourth. C2-08 is built with the assumption that you'll bounce off anything bigger.

4. Have I bought 3+ Notion templates already and not opened them?

If yes - a red flag for both tools, but a bigger flag for the more complex one. The honest move is to commit to actually setting one up this time, or to skip both and use whatever you've already got. The graveyard of unused templates is a real thing, and neither of us wants to add to it.

5. Will I do the 15-minute setup THIS WEEK?

Not "soon." Not "when things calm down." This week. Pick the day, put it in your calendar, set a 15-minute timer.

If the answer is "probably not, I'm slammed" - don't buy either yet. The best template in the world doesn't work if it lives unopened in your Notion sidebar. Wait until you have the 15 minutes. Then come back.

If the answer is "yes, Thursday afternoon, I've got a slot" - good. Now pick the tool based on questions 1-3.

What we don't do that The Coach Hub does

Honest list, no spin:

• Invoicing and financial views. The Coach Hub has structured fields for billing, payment tracking, and financial dashboards. C2-08 doesn't.
• Lead capture and pipeline stages. If you want prospects flowing through stages from inquiry to active client, Coach Hub has that. C2-08 starts at "active client" and stops at "closed client." It's not a sales tool.
• Marketing snippets and content templates. Coach Hub bundles in things like social post templates and newsletter scaffolds. We don't.
• Client portal stubs. Coach Hub has structures that lean toward shared-with-client views. C2-08 is fully internal, for you only.
• Multi-coach / agency views. If you're running a small coaching team, The Coach Hub scales there. C2-08 is solo by design.
• Years of iteration. Coach Hub has been refined longer. Some of our edges will be smoother in version 1.2.

If any of these are core to your practice, get The Coach Hub. We're not trying to be everything.

What The Coach Hub doesn't do that we do

• The single-next-action method, baked into the structure. Coach Hub gives you fields and you fill them. C2-08 enforces a workflow: one current action per client, period. That constraint is the feature.
• 15-minute realistic setup. We measured. Most coaches are running by the end of one short sitting. The Coach Hub's depth means you'll spend longer.
• The body-double helper. A small AI prompt template that lets you talk through your client list with Claude or ChatGPT when you're stuck. It's not a replacement for thinking, it's a thinking aid for the ADHD coach's brain. (We use it ourselves.)
• "Less is the feature" discipline. Every quarterly update is a chance to add things. We mostly don't. We tighten. That's a real promise about the next two years of the tool, not just a marketing line.
• Direct email to Wren. When you email about C2-08, you're emailing the person who maintains it. No tier-one support layer.
• €99 vs ~$197. Roughly half the price, for a more focused tool.

Verdict + recommendation paths

If your bottleneck is working memory and you have 15-40 active clients - buy Template Drawer C2-08. €99, 15-minute setup, 30-day refund. We built it for exactly this case.

If you're scaling a coaching business and need CRM breadth - get The Coach Hub. They've earned their position in the market. We'd rather you buy from them and use it than buy from us and let it sit unopened.

If you're not sure which describes you - re-read question 1 in the honest-questions section. That answer settles it. If you're still not sure, our refund window means you can try C2-08 cheaply first, and only step up if the bottleneck turns out to be admin breadth, not memory.

FAQ

Which is cheaper?

Template Drawer C2-08 at €99 is cheaper than The Coach Hub at roughly $197. Roughly half the price, on a smaller scope.

Which one is more complete?

The Coach Hub. It covers more surface area (invoicing notes, lead capture, marketing assets, client pipelines). C2-08 is intentionally narrower, focused on the single-next-action discipline. Completeness isn't the same as the right fit - more isn't always better for the ADHD coach's brain.

Can I use both?

You can, but we don't recommend it. The whole point of either tool is to reduce the surfaces where your client info lives. Using both means two places to update. Pick one. If you genuinely need CRM breadth, use The Coach Hub. If you genuinely need next-action discipline, use C2-08. Don't run both in parallel hoping one will win.

Is The Coach Hub HIPAA-compliant?

Notion itself, the underlying platform, is not HIPAA-compliant by default for either template. If you handle protected health information in a US clinical context, neither template alone is a HIPAA solution - you'd need a Business Associate Agreement with a compliant platform. Both Template Drawer C2-08 and The Coach Hub are organizational workflow tools, not clinical record systems. For HIPAA-regulated practice, talk to a compliance professional about your full stack.

Does Template Drawer offer refunds?

Yes. 30-day no-questions refund window from purchase. Email us and we'll process it. We'd rather refund a coach who didn't get value than have them sit on a tool they don't use.

What about coaches who aren't ADHD-focused?

C2-08 was designed for ADHD coaches, but the single-next-action method works for any solo coach whose bottleneck is memory rather than admin breadth - life coaches, executive coaches, productivity coaches, recovery coaches. The Coach Hub is more agnostic by design and works across coaching niches without modification. If your niche is broad and you want a tool that fits multiple coaching styles, lean Coach Hub.

Which has better support?

Different shapes of support. The Coach Hub has a community, documentation, and tiered email support - mature for a more mature product. Template Drawer support routes directly to Wren (me), the person who maintains C2-08. Smaller surface, faster reply, no support-ticket queue. Pick the shape of support that matches how you actually ask for help.

Closing

The honest line: pick the one that matches your actual bottleneck, not your aspirational one. Both tools work. The wrong tool for your brain won't.

If C2-08 sounds like your shape, it's here. If The Coach Hub sounds like your shape, they've earned the visit. Either way, set the 15 minutes this week.

Wren - keeper of the drawer.
