Routine Anchoring
Your days feel chaotic and unstructured, making everything harder
Steps
- Identify 3-4 fixed points in your day (wake up, school drop-off, lunch, bedtime)
- Attach one small habit to each anchor: 'After school drop-off, I make a coffee and review my list'
- Don't plan every minute. Just the anchor points and what follows them
- Use visual reminders (sticky notes, phone wallpaper) for your anchor habits
- Review weekly: which anchors are working? Adjust what isn't
What you need
A simple list of your daily anchor points and habits to attach
Why it works
ADHD and autistic adults often struggle with unstructured time but find rigid schedules impossible to maintain. Routine anchoring provides flexible structure — a few fixed points in the day that everything else hangs from. It's structure without rigidity, which is exactly what most neurodivergent brains need.
Age guidance
Designed for adults. Start with just one anchor point and build from there.
Real-world example
A parent chose school drop-off as their first anchor and attached 'make a coffee and review today's list' to it. Within three weeks it was automatic. Two anchors transformed their day more than any detailed schedule ever had.
Troubleshooting
- Start with just ONE anchor habit. Don't overhaul your whole life at once
- Missed an anchor? Just pick up at the next one. No guilt needed
- Flexible structure works better than rigid schedules for most neurodivergent adults
