this is the singularly most interesting, relevant, resonant thing i’ve read in a while. thank you so much for sharing it 🫶 i’ve been thinking a lot about “beautiful constraints” recently and it feels like these ideas swim in the same waters - i love the idea of anchors rather than structure, things that keep us tethered rather than weighing us down. i can’t wait to reflect more and put this into practice!!!

I saw the viral quote and landed here. Thankyou for writing what I definitely needed to hear. I think I knew it deep down and it felt serendipitous to find your page today. I will do that, yes I’ll do that too and that, yes, go to my desk write a routine. Then I got to the bottom and see the beautiful Hilma de Klint painting, my favorite, the postcard I have right on my desk. xx

As someone who struggles with ADHD myself, routines have always been a pain in my behind 😭😂

However I like the idea of tethers, especially since I find rigid structure exhating, and I think it may work for me, so thank you in advance 🙃

Routines are good. I’ve started making a daily schedule for myself and I feel so much more grounded and stable. I also add naps and rest periods to the schedule. When you are recovering from burnout, that’s really important too.

routines are the spine where as the rituals are the soul

I’ve always known I needed a routine, life felt like walking on a tightrope 100 feet in the air if I didn’t have one and I never understood why I couldn’t be more cool and spontaneous like everyone else! didn’t for a second consider it’s because I’m a creative and creativity needs the safety of routine! loved this read, thank you :)
