And my computer's been a little grumpy, so I had to stop it and do the second part of this one. And so when we're talking about that is my timer to go make dinner. Patricia Sung 00:14 Okay, so the last one for now, we are talking about how do we know what is the next thing that we should go to. Now in this case, we started with our easiest routine. And then I want you to focus on building easiest to hardest. So the next one I recommend you tackling is your bedtime routine, because that only involves you, no one else is around. Hopefully they're all in bed, and you can focus on you. So that makes it easier to like lean in on because it's just you. Patricia Sung 00:47 Next would be the one to like work backwards. So once you have your evening routine, your bedtime routine done, you kind of backwards and say I would say either evening routine or kids bedtime routine you could start with either one when I consider even routine is usually I like the whole like dinnertime homework portion into bedtime, either one of those would be the next place to go if you're not sure where to start. And the evening routine tends to be pretty like similar. So those are good, like consistency, things to work on. Patricia Sung 01:27 And then I recommend actually starting on your morning routine last because that tends to be our most hectic, like time of day. Because usually there is a time cut off of when you need to get out of the house. If you are staying home and you feel like if you're like you know I have a
2. little one at home and we don't have to exit at a certain time, you may want to flip flop those your morning, maybe calmer and evening might be the hard time for you a harder time for you. Patricia Sung 01:54 So I want you to think about it in working like up inexperience level, tackling more and more difficult as you go. And a lot of neurotypical advice will be like, just do that real hard thing first. And our brain tends to work better with like, we've got momentum going, we feel good about it, we have our competence going and we take on bigger and bigger tasks. And we'll see if my computer cooperates here. Patricia Sung 02:18 Let's see. Okay, so when we're looking at this chart here again, and that is a fit, okay, there we go. We're thinking about what are the times of the day where things are similar. And we're working on those. Remember, our goal is to lighten your mental load with a plan that serves you. And these rhythms and routines are a means for doing more with less thinking less mental weight. So these sections that I've highlighted in yellow tend to be the more similar times of day. Patricia Sung 02:49 So notice that here in the middle, this easy one is the one that I picked for you because it's kind of like independent. This is the one we started on is settling this one and then when you feel good about it hit the bedtime routine. Because you're the only one awake to that point, hopefully, and and it's easier to work on that one. And then figure out in your day, which one's less stressful the morning routine and getting out the door in the beginning of the day or is it easier for you to do like the dinner or bedtime thing? Pick the one that is easier and work on those first. Okay. That's all I got for now. I'll talk to y'all soon. Have a great day success mama. And we'll check 03:33 soon
