Why this matters
Self-advocacy is easier when you know your own patterns.
A work conditions map helps identify what supports strong work and what drains energy.
Map these areas
Write down:
- Best focus time
- Meeting limits
- Sensory drains
- Communication preferences
- Task-starting supports
- Recovery needs
- Warning signs of overload
Use it carefully
This gives you language for conversations without needing to disclose everything personal. Share only what is useful and safe to share.

Make two lists: “Conditions that help me work well” and “Conditions that make work harder.”
