Worksheet prompts
- What part of the day or the week is hardest for you right now?
- What changes would actually help?
Hours, breaks, a chair, working from home, deadlines. - If you only got one of them, which would you ask for?
- How much do you want to tell them about your health?
You get to decide how much detail to hand over.
Asking for a change is not asking for a favor. You are trying to keep working.
