Tuesday Moment: How To Keep Going Without Burning Out
🚀 Tuesday Momentum: How to Keep Going Without Burning Out
If Mondays feel like climbing a hill, Tuesdays can feel like sliding back down it. The novelty of a “fresh start” has faded, and ADHD + autism families often face the mid-week dip: half-done routines, forgotten homework, growing fatigue.
But here’s the reframe: Tuesdays don’t need intensity — they need momentum.
Why Momentum Matters
-
ADHD and autistic brains thrive on movement, not pressure.
-
Starting is the hardest part — so once you’ve started, keeping things small and steady is better than going big.
-
Little wins compound into confidence.
A 3-Step Tuesday Momentum Plan
-
Anchor Yesterday’s Win
Ask: “What worked on Monday?” (even if tiny). Repeat it today. Momentum comes from repeating wins, not reinventing the wheel. -
Use a Momentum Buddy
Pair tasks with company. Sit together for homework, fold laundry while chatting, or set a classroom buddy system. ADHD brains stick with tasks longer when someone else is near. -
Shrink the To-Do List
Instead of tackling 10 things halfway, pick 3 and finish them. Use a “Top 3 Tuesday” list — it’s enough, and enough is everything.
