In this second mini-series episode, I unpack part two of the successful adult framework: strategies. Why hard work alone stops working, the pattern behind burnout, and the simple shift that makes everything feel lighter.
In this episode:
- Why hard work becomes the default (and only) strategy for so many dyslexic adults
- The two patterns behind poor energy management, and why "just push through and crash later" stops working in midlife
- The client who arrived with a bag full of strategies and still couldn't leave the office before 8pm
- My 80:20 rule: the practical way to think about reasonable adjustments in real life, not in theory
- Real-life breakdowns of the 80:20 rule in action, from the supermarket to writing a report at work
- Why doing 200% isn't proof you're capable, it's actually what's making you inefficient
One line to take with you: You don't need to do more. You need to
do things differently.
