Structure is a double-edged sword

You try your best to make it feel like one of those luxurious Norwegian prisons.

I've had good results managing it by planning my week very loosely: I write down 1-3 things I plan to do each day (including work, exercise, cleaning, leisure, seeing friends, appointments) and it's just enough structure to keep me moving without being stifling.

Be autistic as well and give in to the autistic need for structure and routines.
