Lack of daily routine

Does anyone have difficulty with having a lack of routine? I'm ok when I'm in work or have commitments but otherwise I seem to flim flam around. I notice other people are able to productively relax (eg I'm going to sit and watch a film then I'm going to do a work out) whereas I feel I act more on a whim. I'm getting some help to establish a better routine outside of working days because of a non autism related issue.  They've left me just to get on with it and plan myself which is fine because I know I need help with this but I feel there's an element of demand to it now. It's hard for me to establish a routine and very easy for it to unravel. Can anyone relate to it?

  • If I am on holiday (which I really don’t like) it’s like I have too much time to be able to organise myself to achieve anything. I think it’s because I am monotropic, I need to be interested or focused on one or a few things to achieve something.

    This is exactly me! I always get asked to use my holiday bank as I’m always got 90% left midway through the year and unless I’m taking a trip with my partner I just don’t see the point in having time off as I’m usually just so unproductive and end up spending my time switching from TV, phone and any other menial tasks I waste my day with.

    Neither do I, I wouldn’t probably choose to use my holiday either.
