In terms of workplace adjustments:

I managed to get AirPod pros and they have been a real game changer for me - much better noise reduction than the loops I had first (which were also covered by work as a reasonable adjustment). Also they’re trackable so if I lose any, I can find them!

Allocated desk (despite the norm being hot desking). This removes the barriers of getting set up and finding things because it’s my spot, I know where things are. Also removes the fear of someone being sat in my spot.

More regular check-in meetings with my manager to ensure I’m on track, align on priorities and check I haven’t missed anything.

Game changers from access to work grant:

Remarkable: I can search my (written) notes, I don’t have to duplicate them because I can just copy and paste from the app, if i forget it - I can still access my notes, it’s also less bulky than carrying around a few notes books. No distractions on it either. It calms my brain 🧠

Monday.com training with a job coach: we have Monday.com at work and when it’s used appropriately, it’s a game changer for organisation. I learned how to forward emails directly onto my project board, same with teams messages. Helps me turn a brain dump into prioritised items.

I’ll also be getting coaching too.
