Micro-Routines Worksheet

The goal of a micro-routine isn’t efficiency or productivity; it is familiarity. When a sequence repeats often enough, the nervous system begins to recognize it. The brain no longer has to scan the environment and generate a new plan from scratch. It already knows the next step. Over time, the sequence becomes a kind of bridge between one state of being and the next.

Use this worksheet to create your own micro-routines to help prevent freezing, overwhelm, and autistic burnout.
