I Can’t Keep a Routine… But I’ll Build a Cult Around a New Planner

I Can’t Keep a Routine… But I’ll Build a Cult Around a New Planner

We can’t keep a routine to save our lives.
But give us a fresh planner, a highlighter set, and 72 hours of false hope? We’ll build an entire cult around the fantasy of finally having our sh*t together.

This week’s episode of Burnt Out Perfectionist is a full-on tribute to every ADHD brain that’s ever spent $40 on a planner… only to abandon it 6 days later. (Hi. It's us.)

💥 What We Talk About:

  • The ✨magnetic pull✨ of new planners and productivity systems
  • Why building a routine feels good in theory but quickly unravels
  • ADHD time blindness, energy crashes, and shame spirals
  • The fantasy version of ourselves we create (and why we kind of love her)
  • Why “just stick to it” advice makes us want to scream
  • And why delusional planning still brings us joy

🧠 Why This Matters:

If you’ve ever hyperfixated on making a flawless routine — then ghosted it the second real life got chaotic — you are not alone. ADHD brains crave structure and resist it. It’s not a flaw. It’s just...the vibe.

We don’t have the solution. But we do have chaotic stories, unfiltered truth, and that one time Eve tried to manifest a routine using crystals. (Spoiler: didn’t work.)
