What if the problem isn’t you?
I’ve noticed something with neurodivergent professionals who are very good at what they do.
They often spend a surprising amount of time trying to fix the way they work.
More structure.
Another planner.
Better time management.
Another productivity system.
And when those things don’t stick, it can be very easy to assume the problem is a lack of discipline.
But sometimes the issue is much simpler.
The way you’ve been told to work may simply not suit the way your brain works.
That’s one of the things I work on with the neurodivergent professionals and leaders I coach.
We look at what’s getting in the way, what can make things easier, and what happens when you stop measuring your way of working against everybody else’s.
I’m Neil Lawrence, a Neurodivergent Coach.
I help people build self-trust, find what works, finish what matters and sleep better.
I’m neurodivergent myself, and I know exactly what you’re going through.
So, I’m curious:
What’s one bit of “good work advice” you’ve followed again and again, only to find it doesn’t fit the way you actually work?
