Struggling with creating daily life timetables and becoming overwhelmed

Rainbowgirl

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 just have guidelines for myself that's not based on timetables and schedules. Like when I'm using the microwave (whenever that will be), and I have a few minutes, I'll wash dishes while I wait. And when I wake up (whenever that will be), I do stretches and exercise. I know that I'll wake up (well hopefully I will), and I know that I will use the microwave, so I'll attach a thing to do that I don't like doing to them, so I'll end up doing them. Otherwise, they day gets too stressful if I rigidly plan every single hour of every single day.
