Description

When daily strain becomes normalized, it can be difficult to tell whether the problem is a lack of effort or a life that simply doesn’t fit. Without a clear way to understand how energy, decisions, environments, and recovery interact, many neurodivergent adults blame themselves for burnout, inconsistency, or feeling perpetually behind.

Grounded in capacity-based planning, nervous system awareness, and neurodivergent-informed design principles, this tool supports clarity by helping you recognize structural patterns rather than personal shortcomings. This tool offers a structured way to assess how your life is currently organized and where misalignment may be quietly draining your energy.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify your realistic capacity across high-, medium-, and low-energy days

• Notice where energy is being depleted faster than it can be restored

• Recognize patterns of decision fatigue, sensory strain, and overextension

• Understand which parts of your life rely on willpower rather than support

• Clarify small, practical alignment shifts that make daily life more sustainable

Designed as a practical reference for both clinicians and clients, this tool can be used during periods of burnout, life transition, increased responsibility, or when existing systems stop working. With repeated use, self-trust strengthens, expectations become more realistic, and lifestyle decisions feel more intentional rather than reactive.
