I think the closest thing that I have to a routine right now is that I barely touch my chats or main computer over weekends. Then Monday becomes my "scramble to plan my week" day and then I let the autopilot take over and follow my calendar for most of the week.
Also why my calendar is so important to me! Being #ADHD with major time blindness, I need to track and plan everything manually. :P
@mauve my adhd coping mechanism for staying on top of things is to regularly (throughout the day) ask myself what I want to be doing, and refocus if I am not doing that thing. Sometimes im too absorbed in something to remember to do that, but that usually means im making good progress. 😎 I *never* look at work anything outside business hours unless I’m on call.
@mauve I find it works best if I start the day by writing a list of things I should do today, before reading email etc. Then I try to pick a task and do it to completion, and when done pick something else from the list. Sometimes this works great but other times it’s hard to write the list, or I just get tons of interrupts, or I just… can’t focus? I dunno. No magic bullet. Having the *intent* to ask myself “what am I doing?” seems to help at least.
