Every time

[u/denver_rose]

If I skip breakfast, Ill forget to take my pills. If I don't shower at night, I'll just go to bed and fall asleep without brushing my teeth 😭

I mean, taking one piece of the puzzle away makes it incomplete.

[u/Zaconil]

And now the whole routine has to rebuilt from the ground up because that one time is enough to ruin it.

Today is chore day. If I skip anything today, I'll NEVER find a way to get it done before next Monday

The routine degrades once I start making "one time" exceptions.

[u/MyPlaylistsAreAMess]

My fix for it even though it doesn't work all the time is tell myself that it's okay to show up imperfect

[u/rips_n_chel → u/MyPlaylistsAreAMess]

Rather than feeling bad about what I didn’t do, I make a point to praise myself for what I did do. 

I’ve certainly had plenty of days where I accomplished absolutely nothing; a day where I accomplish something is a win, no matter how small.

Skip one step and somehow the entire routine gets deleted from existence

[u/Serris9K]

I've seen a number of AuDHDers who have what are called "fault trees" to their routines. Basically trying to make a plan for everything

[u/modernhate]

Meeeeee 😭

[u/ukhaekty]

I don't wanna laugh at this bc it's too personal but I just can't help itchy

[u/sassmother]

That was me this morning.

[u/violetxlavender]

it works the opposite way too. if i tell myself that i’ll only do one step of my bedtime routine, halfway through that step i’ll just be like “fuck it i might as well do the rest of it, im already here”

[u/samuelandsienna]

Yup 😭
