Time for self-care

In general, there is a lot of talk about how important it is. And a lot of talk about the importance of making time for it. But finding it is the hardest part as someone caring for others with mental health struggles. What are some ways you have found to make time for self-care?

What are some EFFECTIVE ways you have re-learned consistency, self-discipline, & routine/habit-building?

I STRUGGLE with amotivation, self-accountability, brain fog, meeting deadlines, “perfectionism” traps, idea creation/invention, disorganized neverending thoughts, flight-of-ideas, memory issues, and ~losing~ time. Moreover, once I start, I OFTEN down rabbit holes which are hard to invalidate because they are loosely relevant ot I’m scared of forgetting (see: memory issues).

I have a hard time finding the patterns (circumstances, moods, and other factors of context) in my self-hacks and systems that have worked when they did, largely because I am looking for patterns in when I can successfully speed up the activation energy required to execute a task.

This impacts everything from personal aspects (e.g. wanting to meal prep, properly nourish myself, reincorporate fitness/activity, and keeping my place clean/order) to obligations (e.g. assignment/task deadlines and accountability). A lot involves adverse & withdrawal effects from medications, which exacerbated executive functioning. There is more and this is probably hard to follow (something I am also working on), but even typing this was exhausting. :/

Time management

I always have trouble managing my time effectively, but I’ve been using an app called forest that works as a cure timer, and if you get lost wasting time of your phone, the virtual tree that you planted dies. I’ve been using it more often in the past week and I am shocked at how much I can get done when I actually use my time. #ADHD #executivefunctioning #timemanagement

Oh no. Am I getting worse again?
Am I able to make it stop?
Will I feel better after another treatment?
Will mom drive my car home?
What do I pack?
What's the weather going to be like?
Will my brother act like an adult?
Why am I so good at procrastinating?
When will I stop hurting?
Will I ever stop wondering?
When will I have time for the treadmill?
What's a good sci-fi movie for it?
What flavor is that spaghetti?
Yep. It's yucky spaghetti. It makes my body feel wary and tense.
Ooh! Will I be able to get a massage soon??
