I prefer hybrid jobs. Fully remote makes my ADHD worse. The variety of switching between settings actually helps.

It's annoying because all the jobs in my field seem to be remote these days, even local ones. Thankfully I found one with an ideal balance

This is how I am as well. I have to get out of the house every now and then so I actually took a part time job outside of my house. My full time job is doing remote assistant work and I like that it is flexible and I can really do it any time of day.

I was a teacher and fully quit to become a freelance content writer. I ended up freelancing in multiple areas and now can pay my bills while keeping control of my schedule. It wasn't only my ADHD that made me quit, but being at home has seriously increased my productivity now that I can work how and when is best for me.

May I ask how you became a content writer? I’m in job transition and want to stay fully remote as I’m way more productive at home. Hope this is ok to be asking

Designer…graphic designer, web developer, etc. I think those are best types of jobs, easy to work around your own rhythm!

My role isn’t fully virtual (partially self decided), but the aspects of it that I’m most comfortable with and able to stay on track with are project based functions.

When I’m working short term (less than 3mo) projects and move to the next, I am able to stay on task and even enjoy things. Usually I’m waiting on other partners and working on my own side projects.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking. I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.

I have tried absolutely everything I can think of to limit distractions during the work day and none of it has worked. Working from home has only made it 100 times worse because now I know there are other more interesting things to be distracted by all around me. What do you do to hold focus during working hours? What will get me to be able to work for longer than 35 minutes without getting distracted?

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks.

Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?

I've asked for help, and, to avoid a long post, she expects me to figure it out. Perhaps you go through this too, but when I don't have a clear guide on completing big projects, it paralyzes me because I don't know where to start. On top of that, I have anxiety, so "it has to be perfect".
