Episode 12 Making Routines with ADHD: How To Stay Functional (Without Hating Your Life)

Struggle to build routines with ADHD? You're not alone — routines are essential and often feel impossible for ADHDers.

In this episode of Girls That ADHD, ADHD therapists and business owners Sayaka and Anushka get real about what actually works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to building flexible, sustainable routines that support your wellbeing and goals without burning out.

We cover:

✅ Throwing out neurotypical routine advice

✅ Time-blocking by energy, not perfection

✅ Building routines for good days, medium days, and hard days

✅ Planning for procrastination and rest

✅ Using “done” lists, not just to-do lists

✅ Creating visual tools that support ADHD working memory

✅ Prioritizing daily functioning + executive function

✅ Making routines work for your brain, not against it

If you’ve ever felt like you need structure but hate being boxed in, this one’s for you. 💛
