Making plans, following time management rules, and trying to get organized just doesn't seem to stick. That's because it all requires ongoing, conscious, active brain power. Instead, develop routines that let you move forward on auto pilot. Here's how.
at work, at home, and with my homework assignments. I really want to do well in school, but I get discouraged because I always fall short by just a little bit and I don’t get the grades that I need. I’m about to go to nursing school and I am terrified that the cycle will repeat itself.” –I want to break this down so you don’t feel so overwhelmed. I find that my clients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder jump in head first when it comes to trying to get organized or manage their time.
Planning, time management, and organization all require on-going, conscious, active brain power. Routines, almost by definition, do not. Think of a routine as “I plan it once — and done.” It’s the ability to move through your tasks without thinking about what’s next.
Try breaking down your routines into three areas. Weekly/Daily Prep Routine, Study Routine, and Life Routine. Set aside time to prepare in advance for both the week ahead and for the next school day. So, for example, block out Monday – Thursday at 10PM for your daily prep and Sunday at 9PM for your weekly prep. This way, you are only focusing on the set up each time and taking time to pause and picture what needs to be done and when you can schedule the time to do it.
As a lot of my clients have learned, setting these prep times provides double benefits. After a while, the prep times not only become a nightly routine that they stop thinking about, but their days also flow more easily because their tasks, activities and other to-dos are already scheduled, packed, and planned for.
