Brilliant ideaKelsey I have a colleague at work who has Aspergers. He is highly intelligent, remarkably honest and unbelievably thorough in some areas but totally the opposite in other areas and his ability to prioritise, be on time or stay on track is woeful
I am not saying that you have Aspergers but moreso sharing something his therapist tasked him to do which has helped heaps; he now ‘lives by a time book’.
Meaning, at the start of each day he maps out half hour or hourly blocks of what he needs or wants to do and must not stray from those.
So, putting what he now uses into your scenario, this is an example of what you could do:
7AM to 8AM: Feed, water, tend to animals
8AM to 9AM: BYC
9AM to 10AM: Educational
10AM to 10:30AM: Free time
10:30AM to 11:30AM: Educational
11:30AM to 12:00 Midday: BYC
Not the best but you should get the gist .. wake up, plan what you need to do for the day, put it in writing in time blocks and do not stray. If you have one hour set aside for education; no phone, no BYC, no distractions unless urgent or life threatening.
Then, when it is your BYC time, no guilt as you are not procrastinating but more sticking to your schedule which will hopefully help with no leaving everything to the last minute and causing stress which leads to not wanting to do it at all.
The hardest part of this plan is working out what you need to do that day and splitting that into time blocks; once you have done that, with it right next to you reminding you, it should be easy to stick to and help you to achieve your goals for that day.
What my colleague did was actually share it with us so that if we saw he had strayed, which he does without really noticing, we were able to help him back on track.
