The sensory reset menu
A 78-second workplace tactic for open-office sensory overload: prepare a three-option reset menu before the loudest moment arrives.
Short, practical videos for ADHD, autistic, and neurodivergent professionals — one concrete workplace survival tactic at a time. By-and-for neurodivergent people, zero 'just try harder' energy.
Today’s tactic: make a tiny sensory reset menu before the office gets too loud, bright, or busy.
The menu has three choices: lower the input, change location, or use one plain sentence to pause and reset. It is not medical advice, and it will not fit every body or every job. Use what helps and ignore the rest.
