Anyone else stirring with memory? I struggle to remember things (right since school) and it’s hard for me to remember dates or anything for that matter. How do you cope ?

I write down everything immediately with pen and paper (in a few key spots), and make events and reminders on my phone. If there’s something major I need to do by a certain date (e.g., pay or cancel something), I’ll set it up as a recurring reminder from a week before until the due date. The more I see it, the better.

The key for me is to put everything down/set it up right away—don’t store it in your head believing you’ll “do it in a minute.” Because you’ll forget. Lol.

Getting things down in text form helps me because I can reference or look it up later on. Reminders and calendar events can help too.

Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that.

How do you know if someone likes you in the beginning of dating? I met this guy online who I thought was cute and we went on a few dates. He always texted me right after the date and always initiates another date right after or within a day. He’s been sweet to me (ie when I was packing for a trip, he noticed there’s dirty dishes in the sink and he just started washing them for me) but he never texts in between dates and doesn’t really initiates much physical contact (he reciprocates when I do)

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent. She said when I’m engaged it’s great but need to keep it going. I’ve mentioned my ADHD previously but I’m sure she doesn’t know all the components of what that means. We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)
