Description

In a world that preaches “make a routine, stick to it, succeed,” it’s easy to feel like something’s wrong when you can’t. Some of us live in a constant state of messy schedules, half-started habits, and deadlines we quit too soon.

In this session, we’ll explore:
- What it means to have a chaotically organized life (a life where we try to organize but still feel chaotic).

- Why strict routines don’t always work, and what happens when we give up on them.

- How to build a habit system that’s realistic, flexible, and kinder to our human selves.

We’ll share stories, reflect on what works and what doesn’t, and maybe find a little peace in the mess.

Session Activities

Question 1: Think of the last habit you tried to build (gym, writing, language practice…). What happened?

Question 2: On a scale of 1-10, how “organized” is your life right now? What makes you pick that number?

Question 3: Does your schedule feel more controlled (you set it) or chaotic (it sets you)?

Question 1: What does “chaotically organized” mean to you? Can you describe a time you felt this way?

Question 2: Why do you think so many habit-builders and productivity gurus assume one size fits all routines?

Question 3: What schedule systems have you tried that didn’t work? Why did they collapse?

Question 4: On the flip side, what do very strictly organized people actually gain, and what do they sacrifice?

Question 5: Is it better to have some structure rather than perfect structure? Why?

Question 6: How can we set deadlines or activities in a way that reduces burnout and quitting?

Question 7: What role does self-kindness or self-judgement play when we don’t meet our own expectations?

Question 8: If you were designing a schedule for you, knowing you’re not a “routine machine”, what would it look like?

Question 9: How do you deal with unexpected interruptions or “life happens” chaos?

Question 10: After this session, what one change might you try to make your schedule feel less chaotic?

Fly by the seat of your pants

To do things without planning; improvising

Throw schedule out the window

o ignore your plan because of chaos

Crash and burn

To fail suddenly and dramatically

Spinning plates

Managing many tasks at once, barely holding up

Go off the rails

Patchwork schedule

A mix of different times/tasks, not one consistent routine
