A 7-Step Action Plan
1
Use a Daily Energy Tracker. This helps identify your energy level and patterns weekly. Essential to energy management for burnout prevention. It’s important to establish a baseline.
2
Create a Work & Home Boundary-Setting Checklist. This will help you establish physical, time and communication boundaries with others.
3
Develop a Self-Care Planner. This includes your daily non-negotiables (e.g., “must do’s”), weekly self-care routine, and a monthly reset plan to rejuvenate. “Reset” time helps you recharge – the core tenet of the energy management toolkit for autistic moms.
4
Use a Weekly Task Prioritization Chart. This will help you identify mission-critical tasks and actions you can take to prioritize and maximize your time.
5
Identify Sensory-Friendly Break Ideas. This is helpful when you’re in a low, moderate, or high energy state to game plan how to integrate sensory breaks into your day.
6
Create an Emergency Overload Plan. When (not if) a sensory overload occurs, this step will help you identify early warning signs to action, and path to recovery. This is essential to have in your energy management toolkit.
7
Set up a Family Communication Guide. This includes a signals and support protocol for mom and family, and essential “safe” contact(s).
