Having being diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 10 and then ADHD at 39, he\u2019s faced challenged throughout life with managing his day and the influx of information that we all face in the workplace. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Max found himself stressed, embarrassed, and burning out the year before this talk took place. Left responding to external pressures, focused on the biggest fires, and feeling like he was falling short of the best version of himself left him feeling guilty, stuck, and wondering whether things will always be this way. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">So, Max Went on a Journey to Mastery<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With the challenges and stresses reaching a peak, Max decided to ask questions and find his own way from chaos to mastery. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Max says we aren\u2019t always aware of our struggles, and he discovered: <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"8\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">He wasn\u2019t playing to his strengths; he was asking, \u2018why can\u2019t I be like them?\u2019 instead of \u2018how can I thrive as myself?\u2019<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"8\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">He needed some outside help, some guidance and resources he could use. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"8\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">He wasn\u2019t destined to be like this forever! <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"8\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">He just needed to rethink his approach. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, Max set out to change the narrative by making use of tools and creating a plan. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cEveryone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth\u201d &#8211; Mike Tyson<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Max realised that all of the meetings, messages, and tasks he was dealing with was his getting punched in the mouth! So he needed more than a plan; he needed a <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">training <\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">plan. Something that:&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>1)<\/strong> Is a training schedule \u2013 a mix of practice with planning. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>2)<\/strong> Something to repeat every day \u2013 that&#8217;s the practice<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>3)<\/strong> Something we can get good at \u2013 something we can <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">see <\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">changes with<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Max had seen a video about neurodiverse brains, routines, and the role of the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in routines and task mastery. We need great scripts that we can master and use with fluency, just like how the tennis player, Djokovic, takes a great shot with intuitive precision!&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit\u201d \u2013 Will Durant<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Max realised that we need tools to make this shift happen:&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Tools need to serve us, not the other way round!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We need to find what works for us.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s great to ask other people if you need inspiration.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Start small and build up from there. Pick a couple of tools, build up a habitual use of them, and then expand the toolkit.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Max discovered a task management tool called Obsidian, which he liked but found it a bit awkward to use at first; it wasn\u2019t great for everything! This said, he resolved to make a habit of using it and building up from there, starting with a simple to-do-list.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Max started iterating on it, making his own task lists and formats for different kinds of to-does. For example, he would have a daily check-in list, a daily to-do list, a top priority segment, and he began using a dyslexia-friendly font for his notes in the app. He also does a daily meditation using Calm to get into the right headspace for the day.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After a few weeks, he thought, \u2018maybe I could start using this at home!\u2019. This helped him to bring clarity into the home, in turn, this helped with work too. Now, he has a morning routine that has been developed over time to include all he needs.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cTrain hard, fight easy\u201d \u2013 Alexander Suvorov<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Now you might just say, isn\u2019t this a plan? Max says yes! And more. We need to do more and dedicate time to practice, that makes the difference; that\u2019s what makes plans meaningful.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p aria-level=\"3\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Protecting Your Time and Tailoring Mastery for You<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s important to protect our time and priorities in balance with the needs of others. By protecting our time, we protect our plan, and nurture our practice in mastering our day.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And remember, the right way to master your day is going to be unique for us all! Take the time to experiment and find what works for you.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now What?

He heard of the pomodoro technique and decided to try it. The technique involves doing 20 minutes of working on a task, followed by 5-minutes of free time in a repeating sequence.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, Max knew his weaknesses, and on its own, it just didn\u2019t quite stick. He found a way to remind himself to stick to his plans and processes.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Max used vibe coding using GitHub Copilot to create an automated, pomodoro like timer that didn\u2019t need to be manually started, stopped or reset. It reminds him when to focus, when to do certain tasks, as well as wrap-up at the end of the day and make notes. It\u2019s a bit like a task flow concierge! He knew when he could focus on messaging others, and when to focus on the deeper work.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It sits in his menu-bar and sends notifications for when slots for focus are active, and when he can focus his attention more freely, such as replying to colleagues.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Benefits so Far<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thanks to taking the time to master his day, Max now enjoys these benefits:&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Aptos\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335551671&quot;:0,&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:770,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Aptos&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Less experiences of guilt and shame.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Aptos\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335551671&quot;:0,&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:770,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Aptos&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Reduced stress and overwhelm.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Aptos\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335551671&quot;:0,&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:770,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Aptos&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A better sense of control over his time.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"Aptos\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335551671&quot;:0,&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:770,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Aptos&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">He even has time to spare sometimes!&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Max loves the wrap-ups at the end of the day.

He starts at the end and fills the gaps&nbsp;from there, collecting a range of tasks along the way and bringing them together into a sequence. From there, it\u2019s a matter of taking the steps one day at a time.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Redefining Routine<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Words like \u2018habit\u2019 and \u2018routine\u2019 can be scary; they can have connotations of chores, boredom, and loss of freedom for many of us. But what if we could change the frame?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When we see that our lives are shaped by our routines, they can take on a new meaning. Likewise, when we spend our lives worrying about the little things and feeling overwhelmed by them, we can lose focus on the things that do really matter for us.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the balance between routine and novelty, there is a truer freedom and more enriching life in store for each of us, especially those who struggle with these challenges at the moment.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is a process we\u2019re all on and taking the small steps matters. If you\u2019re someone who works with neurodivergent colleagues, please be kind, encouraging, and understanding.
