Robin!!! How do you always speak to my soul?! As an ADHDer I really resonate with what you said about not yet finding a routine or tools that work for you. You might like my post on calm productivity (https://neurodivergentnotes.substack.com/p/calm-productivity) and Charlie's post on not copying others (https://charlierewilding.substack.com/p/stop-copying-everyone-else-theyre).

Holy shit. It’s Monday morning, I was thinking and feeling about this all weekend, I open Substack, and there you and your words are. I needed to read this, I needed the validation, inspiration and recommendation. 444 - also a lovely angel number to accompany the framework for those that are a bit spiritual, too. Can’t wait to read more and get to know you through your writing, Robin. This rocks. ✨

Wow🥹 this means so much to me, truly. I’m glad it landed right when you needed it and 444 showing up too? That’s on divine timing✨ can’t wait to connect through the words we both put out into the universe!

"Let your routines serve you, not shame you. Make them weird. Make them sacred. Make them soft and sustainable. Make them yours."

i love this so much! the idea of switching from discipline to devotion changes everything. it’s more about care now than it is about control, which is way easier to achieve and emotionally makes me feel more ready to do what needs doing. thank you for this! 💕

Yes yes yess! this is exactly it. When it becomes about care instead of control, it feels so much more sustainable. I’m really glad it spoke to you💕

This really spoke to me! I love it being about devotion instead of discipline. And "Gilmore Girls" is my comfort show, too!

This post came recommended out of the blue in my email and I am floored. This feels like you wrote it just for me because I needed it so badly this week. Thank you with all my heart

Thissss. I could've written each word myself--so highly resonant! I recently published a similar piece you might like (https://spelledchantel.substack.com/p/now-is-the-time) about that rhythm you mentioned. Thanks for sharing!

This was supposed to find me. For the last 90 days I have kind of adopted this method without reading your article. I do 3-4 things just like your 444 method, and it’s helped me become more confident in my productivity AND my rest. My creativity, empathy and discipline is soaring. Lovely read!
