Adapt the task or ask for work support · S2.11

Adjust a task when the setting feels difficult

Something about the task or setting is making it hard to continue.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Identify a present feature you would like changed, such as noise, privacy, unclear expectations, or the amount of work.
2. Choose one adjustment you control or one request to make; you do not need to explain past experiences.
3. Decide whether to continue with a smaller task, pause, or seek support after the adjustment.

An example

I work better with written instructions. Could you send the next steps in a message?

Reflect

Did the adjustment make participation more workable?

Next time

Keep useful arrangements and renegotiate those that do not fit.
