I'm neurodivergent as well as disabled and "10 minute blocking" has changed my life.

I find completing tasks really challenging because I either get super overwhelmed, distracted, or my pain/fatigue levels rise too much and I get defeated.

So I recently introduced the 10 Minute Block rule. It's super simple. I simply pick one thing I need to do, set a timer usually for 10 mins (+/- 5 mins depending on fatigue/pain levels) and then go go go! And I try and do as much of that one thing as I can within the time limit. The rule is that I have to stop after 10 minutes.

If I feel spurred on after the 10 mins is up, then I'm free to start another 10 minute block (either to carry on with the same task or start a new one) and do this repeatedly for as long as I wish, but I absolutely must stop after each block and assess how my body is doing and finish blocking when my body tells me to.

If I am feeling defeated or tired or whatever after 10 mins, even if the task isn't finished, I stop. I rest, congratulate myself on doing those 10 minutes, and then find something fun/restorative to do instead without feeling guilty.

It's really improved my perceived perception of productivity as well as taught me how to pace my body better.

I don't know if this will be helpful to any of you, but it's something that I wish I'd known about sooner and has helped me so I thought I'd share it.

Omg this would be so helpful for me. Would've saved me a bunch of times in college

Need help taking meds? Get a YOS bottle!

this is my pill bottle & water bottle in one, and I highly recommend anyone who's on meds and has executive dysfunctioning going on to get one of these suckers.

These bottles come in different colors, but also in a weekly or a daily set up. Mine (pictured above) is the Daily one (yes that is all my daily medication lol)

These make it easier for me to take my meds in time as I don't have to search for my meds, they're always with me. They are kept in place by a giant magnet! :)

[image ID: three images of a transparent / white bottle with a green cap and a green pill organizer. the first image shows the bottle with every part together, the second image shows the bottle and the pill organizer separated from eachother, and the third image only shows the pillbox with the four compartiments filled with different meds. /end ID]

Here's where you can get them!

an ultimate guide to crafting your daily schedule 👀✨

‘Ello, mate! It’s werelivingarts and I’m here with a simple guide to manage your time and prioritize your tasks with only 3 steps ~

Before planning anything, For me (you guys might have different approach), I find recognizing my energy level pattern really helpful because I can prioritize tasks and get the done in my most productive time rather than forcing myself to cram for homework after midnight. 🌚🌝

I start planning my day by dumping all of the tasks I remember down to to-do list using Bear, and then I would organize these tasks if they are daily, weekly or monthly task on Edison app – which also allows time blocking. After that, I would prioritize tasks daily on app Success. (This is not ad, this is just helpful apps that I use). 😎

Hope you find this helpful in some ways! Thank you for reading! ❤️💜💙
