& MY PGCERT !!
As someone with ADHD and dyslexia, my notes are a beautiful chaos: scribbles, half-formed ideas, and reflections all over the place. For my PGCert, keeping track of everything—from literature and podcasts to my reflections on FE–HE transitions—felt overwhelming. That’s where ChatGPT became my secret superpower.
I’ve used it to help me make sense of my scattered thoughts, organise my notes, and turn my “thinking aloud” points into a coherent narrative that others can understand. By feeding it my messy ideas, ChatGPT helps me structure my work logically, align my reading and listening notes with my project, and even refine my reflections. It’s been invaluable for juggling multiple threads at once—a common ADHD challenge.
Beyond organisation, it’s also helped me explore my positionality. As I wrote about my professional journey in Widening Participation and teaching at CSM, ChatGPT supported me in clarifying my insights and how they connect to my project. Tasks that once took me weeks—writing project reviews or funding bids—can now be completed efficiently and clearly. In short, AI hasn’t just made my workflow manageable; it’s empowered my neurodiverse self to achieve more, reflect more deeply, and feel confident in my work.
Basically it is a game changer when it comes to time ! Something you don’t have a lot of when doing your PGCERT. However ideas and Insights remain mine! Just organising and putting “Ducks in a Row ” is thanks to ChatGPT.
I Know its a Robot – But I love it !
