Making Time Blocking Work for Me (ADHD Witchy Studies & Content Creation Goals)

Описание: Time Blocking is often recommended for folks with ADHD, executive dysfunction, or other focus and motivation issues, but if you've looked into it, you've also seen a bunch of stuff talking about how it DOESN'T WORK. And that has been true for me in the past, it has NOT worked long term, which is why I haven't already been doing it constantly. But I'm trying again now, with everything I know about myself and WHY it hasn't worked before, and so far... it's working for me and the kinds of things I'm looking to fit into my schedule right now!

I'm personally not time blocking every little thing I do, just the stuff I wanted to add time for that wasn't getting done already. And for me the issue is not that I'll forget about my tasks without this, it's that they are CONSTANTLY on my mind and I worry about the fact that I'm not finding time to do them. So this helps me know that I have time set aside for it, so I can focus on what I'm doing now, instead of worrying about what I still need to do.

tl;dw some of my biggest personal take-aways
on what's been making it work for ME so far:
VARIETY (I'm not reading one book at a time all week, I'm picking up different books throughout the week)
days OFF from whatever the tasks are - build in space for integration, rest, other things that come up spontaneously
some flexibility - if something takes longer or I need to push it from afternoon to evening, that doesn't ruin the plan, it's part of it
some limits - having things on the schedule that are set times (like scheduled meetings with other people, or a time frame like knowing I'm blocking weekly) gives me a window in which I can be flexible, but only to a point, so I don't just push something off forever and never get to it

I know none of these things are fully news to folks who really spend a lot of time on this stuff, but it's working for me and the way I understand my own needs now, better than it ever has in the past, so I wanted to share!
