How To Create And Use Mini Routines (Autism, ADHD, Chronic Illness)

By PurpleElla | Autism & ADHD Coach

What you'll learn

Routines don't have to be long or complicated to make a difference. This video introduces the idea of mini routines—small, realistic habits that provide structure without feeling overwhelming.

Instead of aiming for the perfect routine, you’ll learn how a few simple actions can create stability and make everyday life feel more manageable.

Why we recommend it

Travelling often means leaving your normal routines behind. New places, changing schedules and unfamiliar environments can make it difficult to feel grounded.

Mini routines can provide a sense of stability, even when everything around you is changing.

That could be as simple as making your bed each morning, spending five minutes planning your day, journaling before bed or taking a short walk after arriving somewhere new.

These small habits won't make travel perfectly predictable—but they can help create moments of familiarity wherever you are.
