Hi there. Things have spiraled out of control lately, I don’t have a stable job at the moment and when I do, I mostly work from home.

I urgently need to establish some kind of routine and find a way to follow it. Productivity isn’t even the priority as I do have a good amount of free time. Problem is that I don’t use this boredom effectively at all.

I wanted to know if there are books/guides that could help ADHD people establish routines and how to keep them up. I’m autistic too, which means I greatly benefit from routine.

Thanks for any kind of advice!

    thanks! As you work with computers - how do you manage working from home (in case you have experience with that) It is something really hard for me to deal with when I don’t have the spacial separation thanks again for you answer :)

      I actually do work from home. I’m fortunate to have a dedicated office. It would be very difficult to get anything done without it. Mostly because my wife and I also have little kids who constantly want to know what ‘dad’ is up to. If you can’t find a quiet place at home, do you have access to a local library? Coffee shop? Any place where familiar distractions are minimal and it’s quiet enough to get things done? Honestly, if I’m just not feeling it on a given day, sometimes I like to go down to my favorite cigar bar for a smoke and a beer while I’m working. Just the change of scenery helps shake the mental cobwebs out.
