Ditch the Routine Rules: Building Systems That Work for ADHD Brains


Listen Later

Does the word "routine" make you want to run for the hills? I've been there. But what if routines didn’t have to feel like rigid, soul-sucking checklists? In this episode of ADHD Adult(ish), we’re flipping the script on routines and making them ADHD-friendly. I’ll break down:

  • What a routine actually is (hint: it’s not that Pinterest-perfect schedule).
  • Why traditional routines don’t work for ADHD brains — and how we can make them work for us instead of against us.
  • How to create flexible, dopamine-friendly routines that fit into your life as it is right now.

No willpower here. It's about taking small steps, building momentum, and creating routines that make life feel a less chaotic. Let’s do this.
