I wrote a completely new script for “routines” and we now have a shopping list for tomorrow’s shoot:

Eyedropper
Black sheets or other backdrop
Dominos
Labels for dominos
Toothpicks or thin straws or skinny skewers
Googly eyes.

New vlog tomorrow should explain 😂

Looking forward to the video! For me, establishing reliable, productive, and "sticky" routines (over the past year and a half or so) has yielded tremendous improvements in my executive functioning. I was joking with my wife the other day, after getting up at 5:30am, making and eating a healthy breakfast, studying for a certification, getting the kids out of bed, dressed, fed, and on the school bus with time to chat before the bus came that my E.F. is now officially as good or better than a non-ADHD-affected human! Woot! I honestly think that the whole evolution started with making my bed in the morning. From there, it has progressed to some serious automation and tech assistance from my phone, which wakes me up in the morning by turning the lights on in my room (one at a time, so I don't go blind), and then proceeds to walk me through the milestones of my morning, where most of my E.F. challenges reside. I recently started using an app called TimeTune (Android only right now, but here's a page that discusses alternatives: <a href="https://alternativeto.net/software/timetune/)," rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://alternativeto.net/software/timetune/),</a> which walked me through this morning, for example, thusly: 5:30am Wakey wakey! (Alarm says, 'WAKEY WAKEY!' with a simple wake-up tune) 6:00am Eat a healthy breakfast. Drink water. (Alarm: "Nomnoms" with a DING!) 6:30am Studying for Cert (Alarm: "Time to study!" with some ridiculous music) 7:00am Wakey wakey, kids! (Alarm: "Wakey wakey kids!" with a different sort of bell sound) - at this point I also give a friendly, "Wakey, wakey, kids!" shout upstairs, from downstairs, where I'm packing up study materials. 7:05am Kids... Out of bed!!! (Alarm dings again to let me know that I need to go upstairs and get the kids up, because they ain't gettin' up on their own) 7:15am Supplements/Rx (Alarm gives a distinct rattling sound) 7:30am Kids downstairs for breakfast (Alarm "Kids! Downstairs for breakfast! with a friendly reminder sound) 7:40am Gym day! (Day-specific time event. Alarm "[Child2] has gym today! Pack sneakers!" with a sort of repeating, ringing reminder.) 7:45am Shoes on. Lunches and snacks packed. (Alarm is just a simple ding-dong to get me to check the time.) 8:15am Out to the bus stop! (Alarm, in child's own voice, "8:15 - time to go outside" with a simple ding-dong sound.) 8:30am Start work (Alarm: "Time for work!" with a sort of mouse-clicking sound.) From there, the events are more-or-less day-specific. The app is calendar-integrated, and there's a simple widget that I use full-screen as my home screen so every time I turn my phone on, the first thing I see is what my day looks like! In the evening, my "assistant" even reminds the kids to do things like "Brush and floss your teeth!" using an audio recording of their own voices. All-said, I think I spent maybe 2-3 hours over the course of a few days setting up a weekly routine. It's probably the most effective 2-3 hours (and how ever many bucks) of ADHD mitigation I've ever spent.

TL;DR - Routines &gt;= meds. I've been using an app for Android called "TimeTune" to walk me through all the basic, recurring daily tasks that I would normally lose track of, and it has been awesome. The full-screen widget shows me my whole day at a glance, and the ongoing updates help prevent me from missing daily milestones that I need to hit. Because I no longer have to keep track of time, like -at all-, I'm freed up to actually think(!) and enjoy my day! Wow!

This is amazing, thanks for sharing!!! Yep, you hit the nail on the head — routines help us bypass executive function difficulties because we’re no longer relying on executive function to get stuff done :) Thanks for telling me about TimeTune, there’s another app called Brili that lets people set up routines for their kids (or let’s be honest, ourselves ☺️)

Tiny, do you ever get the urge to tell your phone to shut up and not boss you around or else you'll smash it? If yes, how do you deal with it?

To be honest, it has saved me so much frustration and anxiety that I just roll with it. I really just consider it me reminding myself what needs to happen and when. The routine that I have programmed is filled with pretty hard-set waypoints for the day, and I'm more than happy to offload the responsibility of remembering when each of them comes due to an "assistant". When "someone else" is keeping track of this stuff, I crush the basics with very little effort, and feel so much better about myself at the end of each day.

I have started to plan my day (in my bujo,because I can't find a good app on appstore like time tune. But when I need to organize my day with my husband,last one was Christmas eve. Everything went wrong. I didn't even had the time to shower before my guests were arriving. I stod and wrapped gifts 5 minutes before we where supposed to get them open. Today is my birthday and there is a Time plan Beacuse I need my mother to babysit for me. I will loose it of it will be a mess and stress day..again. So how do you handle when someone else can't team up with you?

Yep, my biggest challenge, too, seriously. If only everyone would just do what I say, things would be peachy :)

Just wanted to let you know I included TimeTune in both “routine” episodes on your recommendation, and check it out — it’s helping other brains!
