The Routine As Ritual: Organizing Tips for the Neurodivergent Brain

What if routines weren’t about rigid discipline, but living systems designed to support our energy, creativity, and joy?

In this episode, Sarah explores how neurodivergent brains can thrive when routines mix structure with novelty. She shares her own journey of discovering what works (and what doesn’t), reframing “inconsistency” as rhythm, and why building systems with compassion matters more than following someone else’s rulebook.

You’ll hear:

• Why our brains need both structure and novelty
• The surprising power of aiming for 70% consistency (instead of 100%)
• Signs you might be out of alignment with your routines
• How to release shame and design for your natural energy cycles
• Practical strategies—like meal prep, environmental cues, and gamifying tasks—that make life easier

From gamifying chores to recognizing “bore out” vs. burnout, Sarah offers tools and perspectives that help you create rituals that actually stick—because they’re aligned with who you are.
