Episode 133: On Your Worst Day
On today’s episode of In Time, Peter and Robyne linger in the pause - reflecting on support, routines, and what actually holds us up when things fall apart. Who are the people who make asking for help feel effortless? What’s one small action you’re willing to take even on your worst day? And how might flexibility, rather than perfection, be the real strength in our systems, especially in moments of chaos? Plus, a reframing of adaptability as an often-overlooked superpower.

Show Notes
Highlights:
- It’s great to have people in your life that make asking for help so easy, or who can predict what you need without even having to ask
- We’re always working toward the next thing, but it’s only in the pause that you can start to pull meaning from what you’ve done
- Peter asks, “What’s one specific action you’re willing to take even on your worst day?”
- Robyne emphasizes that routines need to be flexible enough to work on your worst day, rather than on a day when everything is running smoothly (mental/physical health routines, organizational routines, etc.)
- Knowing how to adapt, pivot, and adjust in those chaotic moments is a strength that people with ADHD often have, from having to deal with this level of chaos regularly
“So many times in life, we are moving from thing to thing, and it’s only in the pause that you can start to make meaning and get your takeaways.” – Peter
