Do you have a routine? If so, do you expect to have a “bad” day if something or someone derails your routine?

Tell us about your routine. Is there anything about it that you might like to change?

My routine:

7am Wake up, wash, shave, cup of tea.
7:30am Wake 5 year old son.
7:31am Recognise the futility of trying to create a routine with my ADHD brain that was compatible with my son's ADHD & High Functioning Autistic brain
7:32am begin morning prayers. This is essential as it's the only possible way we'll both survive to get him to school.
7:33am My 82 year old mother who has dementia begins her morning routine.
7:33 & 10 seconds acceleration of morning prayers
7:34am in desperation I wake my wife
7:35am Remember why it's better to let her sleep
7:36am cup of tea

You get the idea...

I'm kinda OCD n make a list of errands I'm order. Same when cleaning house, maintenance, etc. I'm one of those people who get great satisfaction out of crossing stuff off. Dirty secret: if I do something NOT on list I'll write it in just to cross it out!! 😂😂😂 I know. I know.

I have my routine, and I don't like it if something breaks it... but life happens, so...

but I don't have a bad day because of that. I just need additional time to recharge or calm down, depending on what broke the routine... I try not to let myself go into "auto-pilot" mode. For me breaking my routine means additional stimulation, which can lead to overload... but I know myself well enough, and I know how to countermeasure events...

I have a routine but it doesn't mess up my day if its disturbed

[Rangers]

No, other than drinking alcohol until I run out, then working, so I can buy more

[VV3ZZY123]

Yeah I usually create a bunch of alarms or reminders. That way I dont have to worry.
