It can be useful to think of ways to complete daily tasks in a way that won’t lead to intense feelings of overwhelm or anxiety. People that are neurodivergent often find it hard to start or complete tasks and can experience executive dysfunction.

Priority Planning

At the start of the day or even the night before make two lists- one list of actions that have to be done in order to survive and then another list of bonus tasks that may enhance your day but don’t have to be completedPriority List

Transition Buffer

You may struggle to switch between tasks or find yourself never fully completing a task before moving onto the next. To combat this, you could try setting yourself a timer for a particular task and taking 5 minutes in between each task to reset, take the transition slower and mentally check off the task to avoid there being ‘multiple tabs’ open in your brain.
