Struggling with creating daily life timetables and becoming overwhelmed

Hi

I am really struggling with creating timetables for my daily life, I have no end of diaries and planner/budget books. I also have a whiteboard with the days of the week and the month. I feel the reason I struggle is my ASD and was wondering if anyone had any advice?

  • I sometimes feel that I try to do too much and that's why my planners, routines etc have all not meant that I'm better organised. These days I just jot down the times I spend at work and volunteering and the rest of the time I try to just do fun stuff. I recently got married and moved in with my spouse and we're trying to work out housework but we just have a day to do certain things, like bin day on Wednesday and laundry day on Friday, so not too specific. And I try not to get too worked up about the stuff that I haven't done :-) but sometimes I do feel a bit overwhelmed.
