A Routine That Works For You

A Routine That Works for You - A Practical Occupational Therapy Workbook
When everyday life feels overwhelming, even simple routines can become difficult to manage.
 
A Routine That Works for You is a 61-page practical occupational therapy workbook designed to help you understand what is making everyday life harder and find realistic ways to make it more manageable.
 
This isn't about becoming more productive, creating the perfect morning routine or trying to fit more into your day. It is about developing routines that work with your energy, your needs, your environment and the things that matter to you.
 
Created by Serenity Occupational Therapy, the workbook uses occupational therapy principles alongside practical exercises to help you explore:
Your current routines and where you tend to get stuck
Morning and evening routines
Starting, planning, remembering and completing everyday tasks
Time management and reducing the feeling of always being rushed
Habit stacking and making new habits easier to maintain
Energy levels and energy budgeting
Sensory needs and the impact of your environment
Building your own regulation toolkit
Creating a realistic weekly routine
Breaking larger goals into manageable steps
Creating a "minimum day" routine for difficult or low-energy days
Reviewing what works and adjusting what doesn't
Throughout the workbook, you'll find guided exercises, self-reflection pages, planners and practical tools that you can return to whenever you need them. You don't have to work through it from beginning to end. Start with the area that feels most relevant to you.
 
Who is it for?
This workbook may be particularly helpful if you experience:
Anxiety or depression
Burnout or low energy
ADHD or autism
Executive functioning difficulties
Sensory differences
Long-term health conditions
Difficulty establishing or maintaining routines
A period of change or transition

You don't need a diagnosis to use the workbook.
 
The aim is not to create a routine that looks perfect on paper. It is to help you create one that supports the life you actually live.
