You’re Not The Only One
The moment of relief when you find someone who doesn’t look baffled when you say “my feet are claustrophobic”. Someone who doesn’t bat an eyelid when you walk into little Tesco, turn right, and walk down the end isle… when you both know you don’t need anything from that isle. Someone who doesn’t question why sometimes you talk continuously without stopping to breathe, while other times you are completely mute.
That relief is what this tribe brings. Despite all having different traits and characteristics which we are learning to embrace, there is a unity in understanding the strength and resilience we need to be our most fabulous selves.
Work With Your Quirks, Not Against Them
It is possible to focus (even on the things we don’t want to!).
It is possible to find systems that actually work for you.
It is possible to achieve, while staying true to yourself.
There’s no single strategy that works for all Autistic women, all ADHD women, or all Dyslexic women. Taking elements of different ideas to keep what works and lose what doesn’t, is key to finding your system.
Finding the right system and being open to having multiple systems can make all the difference.
Categorising by colour is most effective when it’s used consistently across multiple methods.
For example, online meetings are green and in-person meetings are blue. Different shades of green and blue can then be used in diaries, timetables, to-do lists, mind-maps, planning… Seeing green will then automatically be linked to online and blue to in-person.
Technology can be really good for organising ideas, but it can also create sensory overload.
It’s like looking for something at the bottom of a bag. The more things that are piled in, the harder it is to reach the bottom. Knowing when the benefits of technology outweigh the drawbacks, and vice versa, helps to streamline ideas and processes.
We all have different strengths, otherwise, let’s be honest, life would be very boring!
Use our tribe to channel your strengths and seek support for things which aren’t.
By collating our strengths, together we become unstoppable.
You Do You
Finding space to embrace all your quirks will ultimately make you more productive.
Sitting at a desk? No thank you!
Sitting on the floor until my back hurts? Absolutely!
The energy we use trying to ‘fit in’ drains us of energy to use elsewhere.
Less energy means less capacity. Less capacity means less productive.
You want to be able to choose what you channel your energy into.
Embracing your quirks and finding ways to work with them, can boost your productivity.
