BBMe Weekly Planner

I am not naturally an organised person.  My saving grace is that I love lists, I love grouping things, and I love knowing where I am meant to be and when I am meant to leave to be there.  

My son has a reasonably busy schedule and there is nothing that will bring up my stress level if I have to remember everything, plus when I need to leave.  

Things I needed in a weekly overview planner.  Day name, date, month, 30 mins blocks of time, a place for my people (me, my partner and child), space for notes, space for meal planning, daily house work reminders (that still may not get done), plus a little space for daily reminders and whatever I am recording that week. 

It may seem like a lot to ask, and I could not find one that covered everything, so I made one myself.  

Generally I print up a month at a time, I leave the house work reminders the same, because I have already done the calculations of what and when everything needs to be done, it is dateless because then I can print for when ever.  Each week I check I have the details put in, and I add to it if during the week something extra happens.  It is a great reminder tool for triggering memories which is an added bonus.  

There are three columns for each day to cover off my partner, me and the kiddlet.  If you have more children I would think they could share the column, but I haven’t had to test out my theory!  I record my partners working hours and appointments, my own hourly plans (during non-holiday mode), and my sons apppointments, making sure I have included me in the travel and times because right now his isn’t doing them alone.  I have recorded the dates my meat is best by in the meal planning, but not much more than that, this has stopped any food wastage.  This also helps with the shopping list as I know when and who is going to be home for dinner.  

Overview on how you can use the BBMe Weekly Planner

I have done a quick video explaining how you can use the planner, you may not need all the details, but if you use what you need there is always space for flexibility.

I have included a PDF copy of the planner, two pages, one with my house work reminders as an example and a black for you to print and fill in for yourself.  The PDFs can be imported to iPad App such as Good Notes and can be used as a digital planner. This means you can type in the planner and save your details for any future printing.

    You Don’t Have to Talk It Out Right Now

    Somewhere along the way, the idea took hold that good relationships require immediate, open communication.

    That if something is wrong, you talk about it. Now. Honestly. Fully. And if you can’t — or won’t — that is a sign of avoidance, immaturity, or a relationship that isn’t working.

    For neurodivergent brains, this expectation is not just unhelpful. It actively causes harm.

    Not because neurodivergent people are bad at communication. Because communication under nervous system overload produces outcomes that are the opposite of what anyone in that conversation actually wants.

    The Family That Rests Together

    Decision fatigue, demand avoidance, impossible standards, communication under pressure — all of it feeds into this: the person at the centre of the neurodivergent family system who has been holding everything together for so long that holding everything together has become the only identity available.

    She is not struggling because she is weak. She is struggling because the structure she is operating inside was never designed for her brain, her family, or the particular density of what neurodivergent family life actually requires.

    And she has been told, consistently and in a hundred different ways, that the solution is more of her.

    It is not.
