You don't need to run at the speed of others Moving forward at your own pace is also moving forward
This month, we want to proudly recognize the achievements of our coaches, families, and, most importantly, our participants. Every step toward independence—whether learning a new routine, strengthening a skill, or getting involved in the community—reflects the spirit of Florecer: growing together with respect, empathy, and hope.
We invite you to continue participating enthusiastically in our activities, workshops, and support spaces. Every experience is an opportunity to learn, share, and demonstrate that the true strength of our mission lies in walking together.
Practical tips for independent living
Feeling overwhelmed by endless letters or tasks? We’ll solve it in less than a minute. The “one to five things” method is simple: choose just one or a few items each day. Decide whether to keep, donate, or throw them away. It helps you stay focused and make decisions without getting overwhelmed.
Organize your refrigerator with colors
Assign a color to each type of food (fruits, vegetables, dairy, meats) using labels or containers. This way, you can find everything quickly and keep everything organized.
Use public transportation safely in 5 steps
Plan your route before leaving, keep an eye on your belongings, respect the rules and signs, wear a mask if necessary, and avoid distractions while getting on and off the vehicle.
Choose inclusive apps and podcasts
Look for apps and podcasts that promote diversity and accessibility, such as multilingual content, subtitles, or neurodiversity approaches, to learn and enjoy without barriers
Strategies to organize your day
Try these methods and see how small changes can make your daily life more peaceful and manageable.
Important to keep in mind: Combine visual tools, timers, and routines to create a system that suits your attention style. Stay flexible: some days you’ll be more productive than others, and that’s okay. Avoid excessive multitasking; focusing on one action at a time reduces stress and increases your effectiveness.
FlyLady
With the FlyLady Method, you only have to commit to 50 minutes. So set a timer and go. It's perfect for neurodiverse brains because it breaks tasks down into tiny steps, reducing stress and preventing overwhelm.
Eisenhower
Helps you breathe: What's urgent, what's important? What can wait, and what can I get rid of? It supports planning and prioritization for busy or easily distracted minds.
Pareto Principle
Shows that 20% of our actions produce 80% of our results. So focus on the few things that really make a difference, and you'll accomplish more with less stress. Try these methods and see how small changes can make your daily life more peaceful and manageable.
Creating daily or weekly routine
Establish simple
Consistent routines that fit your rhythm. You don't need to cover the entire day; start with small chunks, such as morning or afternoon.
Use visual routines
Color-coded calendars, pictograms, or checklists help you see what's coming up and reduce anxiety.
Repeat small habits first
Like tidying your desk or preparing your things the night before; consistency creates mental stability.
Support tools
Calendars and planners
Physical or digital, they allow you to plan important tasks and visualize your day or week.
To-do lists
Break down big goals into smaller steps and check off what you've already completed; seeing tangible progress increases motivation.
Timers
Use them to implement techniques like the Pomodoro method or the Fly Lady method; they help you stay focused and respect breaks.
Inclusive productivity apps
Some apps allow for visual reminders, gentle sounds, or voice assistant integrations, making daily organization easier.
