Write Your Own Manual
Write Your Own Manual
Do you have an ADHD brain? And do you want to make things work better for you? Then it’s time to Write Your Own Manual!
It is a game changer to have a clear idea of how you operate. When you know what's important to you, what you are good at, and what circumstances you function best in, making choices that are right for you suddenly gets much easier. This type of clarity is also amazingly useful in explaining to other people how you work best. How do you do this? You Write Your Own Manual.
Why should you Write Your Own Manual?
Good instructions make it easier to do things and help avoid making a mess or even damage as we go. This is true for putting together flat-pack furniture, for getting the most out of a device and it is also true for people. Most people have a sense of what works for them in most situations, especially when they have been there before. Using that sense to purposefully work out what your own ‘instructions’ are, makes it easier to put them to use. If you have your own user instructions, they can help you work better, succeed more easily, make life choices, and live with less friction.
Why is this especially useful when you have ADHD?
If you happen to have a brain that is wired differently from the neurotypical brain, the Standard Instructions - things that work for most people in most situations - often don’t work. Sometimes they don’t work as well, sometimes they are even counterproductive. This is why it is so useful to Write Your Own Manual, based on what actually works for your unique brain. And this program will help you do just that.
How does it work?
In six sessions, you will Write Your Own Manual. Every week, or at your own pace, you receive a Handbook with information that guides you and a Workbook to do exercises and take notes. The program is structured as follows:
You will gather what you already know about yourself and consider strategies that may be useful.
You then put this knowledge to use and refine it into a manual format - and make progress towards a goal you set as you go.
The next section is about how to communicate about your Manual - what do and don’t you explain about yourself, to who and how?
In the last part you review what you now know about yourself - including how Writing Your Manual works for you and how to use this in the future to add to or review you Manual
Write Your Own Manual - The Options
Option 1: Get It Done In Six Weeks
This is your best option if
your main goal is learning more about what works for you and your brain
you want to focus on a specific situation or area of your life to Write Your Manual for, such as ‘getting better at mornings’ or ‘get more done at work’. (don’t worry, you will have all the tools to add to your manual later after the six weeks are up!)
It works like this:
You start with a chat with Judith to set you up for success, to answer any questions, and plan your coaching sessions.
You receive a new instalment every week for six weeks.
You have 2 coaching sessions - in week 3 and week 5 -to help make sure you stay on track, discuss any questions and get everything you can out of this program.
Email support throughout the program.
Option 2: Fully Supported & At Your Own Pace.
This is your best option if you
tend to get off track and/or
have a larger goal you want to achieve as part of this program, such as figuring out if you are still in the right career or managing relationships at work or at home more effectively. Or something else that is realistically going to take more than a month to get done.
It works like this:
You start with a chat with Judith to answer all your questions and to tailor the program to your needs in terms of pace and coaching.
Pace: You will receive your six instalments at the frequency that suits you. Weekly? Bi-weekly? Don’t know yet, it depends on everything else that is going on? It’s all good.
Coaching: You have 6 coaching sessions with Judith to discuss your findings, deepen your insights and have maximum support and accountability. This ensures you Write Your Own Manual AND reach your goal at the same time. You have six months to use your sessions, so they can be booked during but also after the program.
Email support throughout the program.
