A real example from meinsystem.app

My daily routine with ADHD and autism.

Seven blocks, clear times and concrete steps. Nothing has to be decided again every morning.

Everyone is different. This is a starting point, not a standard you have to match.
⏱

Fixed time blocks

Every routine has a clear start and end. I always know where I am in the day.

πŸ“

A place for each routine

Every block has a regular place in my day. It signals to my mind what applies now.

βœ…

Check off steps

I follow the steps instead of deciding again. That saves a great deal of energy.

Daily phone time

My phone stays in a safe during the day. That may sound extreme, but it changed everything. I decide when I am available, not my phone.

Make calls
Put the phone away again

What you can take from this example.

It is not perfect. Some days I skip the midday rest or do only half of the evening routine. But the framework remains. Wherever I rejoin it, I immediately know what comes next.

Your routine will look different: different times, places and steps. That is a good thing. The point is not to copy mine. It is to write your day down once so you do not have to rebuild it in your head every morning.

Start with one routine, ideally your morning routine. Write down what you already do each day. That is enough to begin.
