ADHD advice and suggestions for consistent high-performance on an important 60-80 hour work week project?… Medikinet (concerta) helps with focus but makes you feel bit more tired/lazy, so would you add a bit of modafinil? Anyone mixed these two?

Oh let’s talk self care. I mean 60-80 hour weeks will make anyone tired. How long will this last?
I haven’t take. Modafinil but check with pharmacist for any contra indications.

Typically I’ll take an exogenous ketone and l-theanine every morning with my adderall XR and coffee. I typically fast for 20hours a day with one 24 hour fast each week when I have a lot of client work. I find this typically lets me get through 8 solid hours of focus.

OC&C

Sorry for the delay. Just now seeing it

I am on a small dosage and a large person so I limit myself to 3 cups per day of coffee. I don’t have any heart issues and have a low blood pressure and low heart rate.

I’m on an XR dosage of adderall so I don’t have any issue with insomnia as I take my dosage at 6am.

Yes typically consultants have variances in hours worked per week due to client load and utilization. For us with ADHD it’s really important that when we work long hours we have boundaries. I recently put in a wall that I don’t work on the weekends. So I’ll put in long days but make sure I have time for self care.

For those that have a full time job and a side startup. How do you manage doing both? I’m in pre-seed stages (<10 employees), and I’ve tried doing separate hours for one and the other. But that is causing slow response times to clients, and causing issues for burnout of the team. I’ve been told separate hours is the best way to make sure that you don’t get slapped with co-working, but is there effective strategies to make startup life more livable? 😩😫

Anyone else on a “high priority” project with great visibility but feel zero gratification because my senior is a slide maniac? We spend so much time putting things in slides that are too detailed for the client to do anything with.... I feel like the practice in my firm just makes people spend hours on decks because it’s “a thing” and they did it so I have to. I’m ready to quit and wish I’d get laid off. That sounds terrible but I have skills that are more useful elsewhere. Send the hate.
