Unicorn Time: a vital key to work-life balance for neurodiverse humans

Nowadays, achieving a harmonious work-life balance can feel like chasing a mirage.

For neurodiverse folks, this challenge is often compounded by the need to navigate unique cognitive rhythms and manage energy in a way that doesn’t conform to traditional expectations.

Enter Unicorn Time—a term that encapsulates those rare, magical periods when everything aligns perfectly, allowing you to tap into your highest levels of creativity, productivity, and mental clarity.

As a couples therapist with a deep interest in helping neurodiverse couples find balance and fulfillment, I believe that recognizing and fiercely protecting Unicorn Time is not just a strategy for better productivity—it's a cornerstone for maintaining mental well-being and fostering healthier, more supportive relationships.
