Productivity experts and AI enthusiasts

Open-plan offices, constant pings, and harsh lighting can drain neurodivergent professionals long before lunch. This template helps you script a workday that respects sensory needs while staying productive.

Map Sensory Peaks and Valleys

Track energy and overwhelm

Log noise levels, lighting, and mood in Chaos for a week. The assistant spots patterns, highlighting when you need quiet work or decompression.

Design alternating stimuli

Follow intense meetings with calm admin. NHS guidance on managing stress emphasises balancing stimulating and restorative activities to protect mental health.[1]

Automate Sensory Supports

Lighting and sound cues

Link smart bulbs and white noise apps to Chaos so the space adjusts when focus blocks start. The assistant nudges you to swap to softer lighting before deep work.

Micro-regulation rituals

Add reminders for hydration, stretching, or weighted blanket breaks. Combine these with the dopamine strategies in our productivity playbook.

When your environment flexes with you, focus becomes sustainable. Let Chaos orchestrate the cues so your nervous system stays steady.
