Personal Operating Manual

Half of workplace and relationship friction is unspoken mismatch — you need quiet mornings, they schedule 9am calls; you want direct feedback, they hint. A "how to work with me" manual makes the invisible explicit. This writes yours: how you communicate, when you're at your best, what drains you, how you like feedback, and your hard lines — so people can adapt to how you actually work instead of guessing.

What This Skill Produces

• How I communicate — your preferred channels, response speed, and style (direct vs. warm, written vs. talk-it-out)
• When I'm at my best — your energy windows and the conditions for your best work
• What drains me — the things that wreck your focus or energy (context-switching, surprise meetings, ambiguity)
• How I like feedback — direct, private, written, immediate — however it actually lands well for you
• My non-negotiables — the few hard lines (protected focus time, no weekend messages, whatever's real)
• How to get the best from me — the practical "if you do X, I'll deliver Y"
