In this practical and empowering episode, we tackle a challenge many autistic adults face daily: autistic inertia—that feeling of being “stuck,” even when you want to get things done. Whether it’s getting started on a task, switching between activities, or organizing your day, autistic inertia can make everyday life feel overwhelming.

The good news? There are simple, effective strategies that can help. I’m sharing 5 powerful hacks that have personally helped me and many others on the spectrum improve focus, reduce overwhelm, and take control of our routines—without burning out.

🎯 What You’ll Learn:

  • Why structure and a visual calendar can change everything

  • How to break down overwhelming to-do lists into smaller wins

  • The importance of matching your schedule to your energy levels

  • Using visual cues like sticky notes and color-coded reminders

  • Creating a distraction-free zone to boost productivity

Whether you're navigating a late autism diagnosis or just need a boost in your daily routine, this episode is packed with support, clarity, and actionable tips to help you move forward with confidence.
