More for people entering adulthood, but one thing school life never taught me was how to deal with uncertainty and structurelessness. How to keep moving when you don’t know where you’re going.
Structure for my personal life at every level is still a skill I’m struggling with at age 45.
I feel like if I had been taught to plan my day and held accountable for it at an early age, it would come much more natural to me now at the micro and macro level.
Instead I just blame my lack of ability to organize on my work schedule, which truthfully only fluctuates by a couple hours at most.
It took me years to notice that I was spending much of my free time on ‘stretchy’ activities that stretched to expand whatever amount of time I had free. Turned out that they were dopamine traps and I have ADHD
