It might also be better to use email if you know that their response might need some extra thought or planning or they might have to check with someone else before getting back to you.]]> 2022-03-25 21:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2114466922 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2114478045 I set aside designated time to get certain things done and typically work on my most pressing tasks first. In the past, I have gotten into routines of doing homework for a certain amount of time (30 or 50 mins), taking a short break, and repeating the process. That's something that I've fallen out of lately, but I'd like to get back into that kind of routine]]> 2022-03-25 21:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2114478045 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2114482728 Occasionally, if I'm burnt out, I might reach out to a professor and let them know I need to take a mental health day from class and ask if there's anything I can make up. As for my campus job, if I'm swamped or have an appointment that I had to schedule and can't do a certain task at a certain time, I'll ask a coworker or supervisor if they could cover for me. If I have a lot on my plate and can't hang out with someone how we usually would, I'll let them know that I wish I could meet up but I have to take care of some things and reschedule or plan to see each other another time soon. I don't have much experience asking for extensions when I could really use them, so that's an area where I can improve. A lot of times I won't communicate that I have too much on my plate; I'll just lose sleep instead, which is something that I need to work on.]]> 2022-03-25 21:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2114482728 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2115604669 Email might be preferred over in-person communication for something such as scheduling, or if you are requesting some sort of information that is easier to construe digitally (links, attachments, etc.). Often, I also think emails are better for quick things like brief questions or points of clarification and in-person communication is better for more detailed questions and conversations that need fleshed out over longer periods of time & with more back & forth. This avoids situations where a meeting happens and one or both people walk away thinking "this could have been an email."]]> 2022-03-27 14:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2115604669 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2115611479 I live and breathe via my planner/Google calendar, which allows me to break up my days and allocate hours to different tasks. I also try and prioritize my work when multiple things are coming up at the same time, e.g. picking an assignment to complete 1st, 2nd, etc up until the due date of them all so that I can keep focused.]]> 2022-03-27 14:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2115611479 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2115614243 Admittedly, I am bad about communicating that I have too much to do, and rather I just power through and work overtime to manage it all. However, I am very in favor of strong communication and generally have no issue asking questions or for help if I need it, so if I ever do have an absolutely unmanageable load at any given time I have confidence that I can explain and politely and respectfully ask for support.]]> 2022-03-27 14:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2115614243 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2126642119 Email might be used over in person for things like scheduling, and listing things or presenting  materials to someone. I am a much more verbal person and therefore gravitate to in person interaction, but I am also forgetful at times so when I can have dates and materials in writing and in a place I can find them it is very useful

Another strategy is I will just stop accepting new tasks until I am to feeling so overwhelmed or burnt out.]]> 2022-04-02 18:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2126661339 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2126875868 It might be better to use email instead of talking in person because there is a record of what is said by everyone involved which can be referred to later as needed. It also allows you to craft your words in a very intentional way, which can be very important for heated topics.]]> 2022-04-03 03:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2126875868 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2126876616 I use a planner to lay out my day and week, detailing all of my commitments. Additionally, I write down a to-do list for every day in my planner to help me keep track of everything I need to get done in a day.]]> 2022-04-03 03:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2126876616 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2126877837 I reach out to my manager, and have a forward, in-person conversation about how I have been unable to complete all of my tasks and try to come up with a solution.]]> 2022-04-03 03:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2126877837 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2147653894 When you are more introverted and quiet that may be a reason to do email then in person because then you’re likely to be less anxious. Also I feel e-mail is a lot easier with introductions because you can give people a lot of information without bunching it into little time. ]]> 2022-04-18 23:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2147653894 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2147655584 Often I go off my memory and I always think about what is due next and what projects I should start working on and I remind myself throughout the day what order ill do each assignment. Or posted notes help.]]> 2022-04-18 23:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2147655584 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2147657912 I kind of just deal with it but taking time to myself helps and then I’ll sit down and write down in more detail what to do in order and how much time I’ll dedicate to it. I’ll talk to my friends or mom and overall I just try to organize my thoughts so I can feel like I have control again.]]> 2022-04-18 23:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2147657912 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2152357595 I think email serves as a better method for communication when the answer may require some time to think. By email, the person who receives it has in writing what they need to do, and also allows them time to plan and respond to whatever they were asked to do. It also seems to take away some stress of scheduling, or just in general when you have something that is not too important ]]> 2022-04-21 16:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2152357595 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2152362010 Before I go to bed each night I set a schedule for what I need to accomplish tomorrow. Typically this includes getting ahead on assignments so I don’t feel bogged down come Friday. I also like to set timers for myself when I read, so i know I’ll have a break. Knowing I’ll get a break gives me the ability to continue reading without getting too distracted ]]> 2022-04-21 16:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2152362010 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2152364519 When I feel like I have too much on my plate, I attempt to accomplish small tasks. Maybe it’s doing the smallest of my assignments or making my bed. Doing something like this gives me confidence and something I can cross off my list of things to do. Typically I don’t communicate too much. I put my head down and try to complete it on my own ]]> 2022-04-21 16:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2152364519 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2152654467 It's better to use email than to speak in-person at all times unless something is very urgent because in-person "professionalism" standards are openly hostile to autistic people and the modern workplace is openly hostile to autistic people and "watch body language and tone" is a meaningless sentence]]> 2022-04-21 20:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2152654467 https://padlet.com/wagneca1/shr2dh3ft9x3zt1p/wish/2152657170 If I'm genuinely burnt out it is very possible that I cannot speak either.
