So at the start of the year, I felt super unproductive and ADHD had my brain all over the place. So I bought the Refine Days time blocking planner to try to get productive again. Every morning I sit down, open the planner, and map out my day by making a to do list and giving each task a dedicated time in my schedule. It has been working amazingly and I am much more productive than I used to be.

But after doing this routine for a few weeks, I noticed something else … I’d always have to poop right after. I figured it was just excitement to get things done or the coffee kicking in. But now it’s become a thing. I finish planning, and boom! My stomach’s like, “It’s go time.”

What’s worse is that on weekends, I don’t use the planner, and I don’t poop. I just walk around feeling bloated and sluggish like I missed a meeting with my digestive system. But on Monday? Planner’s open and the floodgates are back.

It’s gotten to the point where i don’t even get to write down all my tasks in the planner and my gut start shifting. I’ve unintentionally trained myself like a dog. A very organized, slightly constipated dog.

Tldr: I used a planner to fix my productivity. Accidentally fixed my bowel schedule too. Now I can’t poop without planning .
