Easier Doesn’t Mean Lazier

Easier Doesn’t Mean Lazier

Breaking down tasks can sometimes feel like adding more to your plate rather than simplifying things. The Easier Doesn’t Mean Lazier handout from Embracing Brains is here to shift that perspective! Created by Megan, a neurodivergent occupational therapist, this printable uses task analysis – a method to identify and remove barriers in activities, making them easier to manage.

Inside, you’ll find real-life examples and easy-to-use tips to help different brains and learning styles. Because let’s be real – sometimes adding tools like calendars and reminders just creates more work (or they get added to the shelf of forgotten planners)! This handout focuses on adapting tasks so they actually work for you, rather than piling on extra steps that make life harder.

By using these strategies, you can make daily tasks more accessible and less overwhelming – proving that making things easier isn’t lazy, it’s smart.
