Reclaiming Time
Living with chronic illness or neurodivergence often means having a completely different relationship to time.
Time might feel unpredictable—some days you can move mountains, other days getting out of bed is your win. You might lose track of time entirely, or hyperfocus for hours and emerge totally disoriented.
These experiences aren’t moral failings. They’re adaptations. Your body and brain are responding to overwhelm, depletion, or altered energy systems.
Yet most productivity systems don’t account for that. Instead, they gaslight us into thinking we’re lazy or inconsistent.
So how do we reclaim time on our own terms?
Design for your defaults. If you know mornings are hard, don’t stack high-stakes tasks there.
Rely on rituals, not discipline. Anchoring habits to sensory cues (like lighting a candle, or starting music) can help your body shift modes.
Make space for rest in your planning. Build your flare days and deep rest cues into your week instead of treating them like interruptions.
At the upcoming Recharge Room: TIME TO BREATHE, we’ll dig deeper into how to create systems that flex with your reality—not fight it.
This space is gentle, inclusive, and community-supported. Whether you’re navigating health issues, caregiving, neurodivergence, or just a lot—you are so welcome.
