Wired Differently - The Four Routes
The Smarter Way to Build Skills That Actually Stick
Most corporate well-being programs assume everyone's brain works the same way.
Emergent Skills knows better. In your first session, we figure out which of four Routes matches how you're wired. That way, you don't waste time forcing yourself into someone else's "productivity hack." Get the 30/30!
The Four Routes
Discover which approach matches your unique wiring and stop wasting time on solutions that don't fit.
Route 1 The Thinker's Route (Cognitive) - Neurotypical
What it feels like:
Catastrophizing, overthinking, impostor spirals, running mental reruns of that one meeting three years ago.
Tools:
- Fact vs. Story
- Thought Records
- Micro-actions
WIIFM:
Stop losing sleep over "what ifs." Start showing up clear and steady in high-pressure work moments.

Route 2 The Sensory Route (Neurodivergent-Adaptive)
What it feels like:
Overwhelm, masking fatigue, energy crashes from too many back-to-back calls.
Tools:
- Environmental Tweaks
- Pacing Strategies
- Sensory Kit
WIIFM:
Protect your energy so you can work sustainably without burnout.
👉 Explore: Focus & Self-Management Skills
Because guess what? A neurotypical brain at 8/10 (🔴Red Zone) stress looks exactly like an ADHD brain at baseline. Same executive function issues. Same working memory problems. Same emotional dysregulation. If you're looking for focus and self-management strategies, you're not alone.
We're all struggling with the same broken tools. Some of us just hit the wall faster.
Route 3 The Blended Route (Mixed) - Neurotypical
What it feels like:
Sometimes it's mental loops, sometimes it's body meltdowns—depends on the context.
Tools:
- Blended Cognitive + Somatic Routines
- Dual Check-ins
- Flexible Frameworks
WIIFM:
Have a flexible toolkit so you're not stuck when the same old fix doesn't fit.

Route 4 The Systems Route (Environmental)
What it feels like:
Office politics, toxic dynamics, authority triggers that aren't about "you being too sensitive"—they're about systems.
Tools:
- Scripts
- Boundaries
- Risk-Aware Navigation
WIIFM:
Keep your integrity (and sanity) while navigating messy environments.

Why This Works (Not Just Theory)
Bias check:
Overthinking often comes from the planning fallacy—we underestimate how long or hard something will be. These tools help you reset expectations and avoid the trap.
ROI:
Even one Route matched well can save you hours of lost focus or weeks of quiet exhaustion. When work demands peak performance, productivity tools that actually fit make all the difference.
Tailored toolkit:
Each Route includes its own set of practical worksheets and tools—so your plan isn't just advice, it's customized strategies you can actually use.
Human note:
Some days, "success" might just mean showing up without spiraling. That counts. For deeper emotional work, consider exploring emotional mastery techniques.
Your Next Step
This isn't a one-size-fits-all course. It's a multi-Routeway toolkit.
You'll learn:
Approaches if your brain loves logic
Neurodivergent strategies for energy-smart hacks
Tweaks if your surroundings matter most
Routines if you want habits that stick
When life transitions feel overwhelming, having the right Route can mean the difference between surviving and thriving. Whether you're facing major life changes or battling self-doubt, your unique approach matters.
