I’ve made a leaflet! An actual, proper leaflet. With dates, times, prices and everything!
Now, this might not seem particularly exciting or worth celebrating to all of you… but… those of you who know me well will understand!
This is quite the achievement, and it’s a brilliant example of where AI can help people like me who find this sort of thing way too overwhelming!
You see, to get a leaflet, first I have to get all the ideas out of my head. Then organise them, work out my availability, decide on dates and times for each session, how long each workshop should be, whether to repeat it, and how to spread everything across weekdays, evenings and weekends.
That in itself is already WAY too many things to coordinate for me!
Now, assuming I’ve got that far, I then have to stay committed long enough to get all those dates, times and titles onto paper, in the right order, and design a leaflet with the information and images accurately represented.
THEN get it printed and shared, while somehow not being pushy or salesy (because I hate that, and it’s not what is about!).
Now, yes, some wonderful fellow humans have offered to help me in the past. But coordinating when my brain works, when my fatigue is manageable, when I’m free, when they’re free, and finding that tiny window of attention when I can actually focus on this stuff has proven to be pretty much impossible!
Which is where AI has finally been able to help.
It can hold the ideas, break things down into one decision at a time and keep all the information together.
I know the dates and times aren’t magically changing every time I work on them, thanks to my beautiful dyslexic brain!
Aaaaaaand… I can do it in five-minute bursts, as and when I’m able throughout the day, rather than having to manage one fixed hour of concentration!
Which is why, this time, there is ACTUALLY a leaflet. Printed, folded and ready to share, with everything that’s happening over the next two months!
Now, there will be plenty of people reading this who will just get it.
There will be others who might think I’m lazy, or that I should just focus, try harder or get on with it.
And there are all of you somewhere in between.
Because we’re all out here humanning as best we can, with the brains and bodies we have.
And finding the techniques, tools, hacks, equipment, aids and support that help us do the things that matter to us, in ways that work for us, is at the very heart of occupational therapy!
It’s not always about changing the person. Sometimes it’s about changing how we do the thing.
Which is why I’ll continue sharing these little snippets of life at .
Because different doesn’t mean less than.
And we’re all just beautifully imperfect humans, humanning our way through life. 💜
