Time Isn’t on My Side: Neurodiversity and Scheduling

from Living With an Invisible Learning Challenge · host Jennifer Purcell

Why does time feel slippery for so many neurodivergent people? In this episode of Living with an Invisible Learning Challenge, Jennifer explores time-blindness, why traditional planners and rigid schedules often fail, and how to create flexible systems that actually support neurodivergent rhythms. With personal stories and research-backed strategies, this conversation reframes time not as the enemy, but as something you can reshape to fit your life.🔗 Articles & Resources for Show Notes⁠⁠PsychCentral – Executive Dysfunction and Time⁠⁠⁠⁠Zawn Villines – Why Schedules Don’t Work⁠⁠⁠⁠Medical News Today – Neurodivergent Burnout⁠⁠⁠⁠ADDitude – Planning for ADHD Brains⁠⁠⁠⁠Frontiers in Psychology – Online Learning & Cognitive Load⁠⁠⁠⁠Siena Castellon Story – The Guardian⁠⁠⁠⁠Spoon Theory by Christine Miserandino⁠⁠Etsy shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wovendifferently.etsy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
