Creator's Key Takeaways

For me, it really is adaptive planning. It is a way of having gotten to know my body over the last several decades that we have been stuck together.

The system doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to work for you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use standing packing lists to reduce decision fatigue.
βœ“Set multiple phone reminders for all-aboard times (3h, 2h, 1h out) to mitigate time blindness.
βœ“Download cruise line apps and essential documents for offline access.
βœ“Plan 'low intensity' backup options for excursions to accommodate fluctuating energy levels.

Booking a cruise two months out and starting to actively plan it... last week. For my ADHD brain with chronic health issues, that is the system working as intended. Today I'm taking you inside my real cruise planning process, including the last-minute check-in I almost forgot, the hyperfocus research spirals, and how I prep for a solo summer Caribbean sailing on a budget. πŸŽ₯ Mentioned in this video: Itinerary Changes video: https://youtu.be/7HYxMpc1qIs ADHD Packing Tips video: https://youtu.be/SscjHn_2_zs πŸ‘‹ ABOUT ME: I'm AJ.
