Working on a practice used to scare me. Not the journey half. The working half.

As a blind neurodivergent particular person, the thought of attempting to do my job with out a massive monitor felt not possible.

I genuinely thought I couldn’t work on the go. No massive display screen, no secure arrange, no likelihood. I wrote off jobs that concerned journey as a result of I didn’t suppose I’d handle.

Now it’s one of many locations I get essentially the most achieved. Yesterday I managed 4 and a half hours of correct centered work on the best way to London.

What modified?

I discovered the instruments that take away the obstacles.

My Apple iPad Pro with a Logitech keyboard case means every little thing’s in a single place on a tool that really works for me. My telephone turns into a second display screen for chats or emails.

The Microsoft 365 ecosystem means my recordsdata, calendars and conversations comply with me throughout each gadgets with out faff. And my bone conduction headset lets me focus or take calls with out blocking out what’s occurring round me (however obvs no confidential calls!)

For years I believed I couldn’t work remotely as a result of I used to be blind. Turns out I simply didn’t have the fitting changes.

When you take away the obstacles, the work turns into potential. And generally, it turns into simpler than you ever anticipated.

ID: my practice arrange with my iPad, telephone, keyboard case and bone conduction headphones on the desk, misty inexperienced surroundings outdoors the window, and the progress over perfection brand on the iPad display screen.
