Been away, off-routine, or just feeling a bit lost? Getting back on track isn’t about punishment or perfect schedules- it’s about reconnecting with what you were doing, what you wanted and how you were doing it. In this post, we explore a kinder reset using a snappy acronym ARIRA and The 5 Daily Pillars to help you rebuild balance, one small, realistic step at a time.

Shifting from one task to the next might sound simple, but for many of us, especially with ADHD, it can feel like hitting a brick wall. One moment you are deep in focus, the next you are late, frazzled, or stuck in that “oh no” spiral. Autumn in the UK is a seasonal reminder of transitions: colder mornings, darker evenings, and the constant need to adapt. The truth is, smooth transitions are not about hyper-productivity, they are about setting up systems and rituals that work with your brain. From avoiding calendar clutter to building micro-breaks into your day, the key is learning how to shift gears without losing momentum or yourself in the process.

We all have natural rhythms — times when our brains spark with creativity or when our bodies call for rest. Often, these rhythms don’t align neatly with 9–5 routines or family demands, but noticing them can make a difference. By paying attention to when you feel most alive and allowing small pockets of your day to honour that energy, you can work with your rhythms rather than against them.

Time isn’t always a straight line — especially if you’re ADHD. In this post, we unpack time blindness and how it can disrupt creativity, self-trust, and studio sessions. You’ll find practical strategies, mindset shifts, and musician-friendly tools to help you build a rhythm that works for your brain.
