Rethinking Weekly Scheduling

The conventional weekly schedule may not suit everyone, particularly those with ADHD, who might struggle with the rigidity of a seven-day cycle. The speaker emphasizes discomfort with this common structure, suggesting that a longer time frame, such as a ten-day or even eight-day week, may be more compatible with personal rhythms. This misalignment can create additional stress when attempting to manage essential tasks within the confined weekly timeline. The focus shifts toward personalizing scheduling methods to accommodate individual needs rather than adhering to societal norms.
