Anyone else developing ADD with all the remote work? Having serious trouble concentrating for more than 15-30 min at a time, so I’m having to work longer days to accomplish the same amount of work 😔

I’ve been diagnosed with ADD for years and recently stopped using medication to deal with it. The biggest thing for me is building momentum early in the work day and avoiding breaks if possible.

I try to schedule meetings consecutively and early in the morning to get me started. Between meetings, I break up my tasks into pieces I know I can accomplish and I will have some kind of reward if I get everything done; something like watching a movie, playing a game, cooking a great dinner, etc.

If I do take a break it normally all goes to hell and I have to ramp back up using caffeine or some incentive.

Good luck!

That’s so true about breaks halting momentum. Plus I have a hard time not falling into the rabbit hole that is my phone. But I can’t put it in another room because I need it for calls 🤦🏻‍♀️

Give Tomato timer / pomodoro technique a try. I also have been having trouble working from home and have been using this. It's not fail safe but I think it's been helping

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast.

I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?

Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%
