Anybody here manages 1 hour walk + strength training (or a proper workout routine).
I'm getting SO tired after the walks, unable to muster up enough to do any workouts after that.
Any recommendations would be helpful

Are there any workouts with high caloric burn that can be performed without engaging feet/ankles? I am not aware of any upper body workouts that burn many calories; trying to stay in shape while recovering from sprained ankle.

I want to invest in new clothes but also don't feel the best about the shape I'm in. Do you use investing in new stuff as motivation to workout? Kind of want to wait until I have more confidence, but maybe the clothes make the man?

SculptICE - has anyone tried it and what were the results like? Ive just discovered a salon close to me does it (based in London) and it’d be good to understand if anyone’s tried it for fat loss before I go invest £00’s in the treatments!! I believe (could be wrong) that it’s a US wellness trend?

Has anyone experienced this? Applied for a job on LinkedIn, first contact with the company is to do a case study then interview. I've never experienced this before. New norm for Corona?

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

^very much so

Hello all. I have a total YoE of 3.5 years. I am currently working in Performance improvement vertical. I want to exit the big 4 and enter industry. Any suggestions on exit opportunities would be highly appreciated.

Which big 4 has the highest average target compensation per partner?

Hiring a Recruiting Coordinator based in Canada. Prefer SK, AB or MB. 6 month contract to start.

Proud of myself for averaging over 10k steps/day for the past two weeks after a pretty sedentary June and July (averaging 5k steps/day). I’m aiming to average 12k steps/day this week.

Our firm gave us $50 Amazon gift cards for Administrative Professionals Day. Well today on our pay stubs, they charged it to us as income so we have to pay taxes. Thanks but no thanks. What’s next, charging us for luncheons and coffee?

What's your favorite example of a product that you don't understand how they even pitched it to the CEO? My current favorite is this bottle of water that says "lo cal." Hahaha

Is it better to be a high performer or an average performer in Deals? I just started working and am conflicted because I don’t want to burn out but i also don’t want to be on the bench.

1 yoe as a business intelligence
developer and just under 1 yoe as a
Junior data engineer for a startup.
My current company is in talks with
me to hire me as a data engineer
right after I graduate with my
bachelors degree. From what I've
seen online (averaging 5 different
sites, I am including Glassdoor but
only the number they have listed as
the base) I'm currently expecting
about 85k base. Does this seem too
high? Just looking for some opinions
before I go in for my interview.

My firm recently switched to a time keeping system that monitors everything you do on your computer. I have ADHD and often google random things (I.e. scores of games; actors in movies/shows; news articles; etc.) has anyone had a problem with AI monitoring and/or management getting on you?

Anyone else struggle to enter time daily? If you’ve overcome this hurdle, how did you do it? I keep a notebook for my time and then send it off to a secretary to enter but I still miss so much of it that I always have to go back through my emails.

Been a rough week here and quitting has crossed my mind more than once. What keeps you guys motivated and inspired on the job?

How do you guys get out of unproductive loops? I'm constantly starting something, staring at it, switching tasks, making no progress, and the cycle continues...

Billable hour question: is anyone else just completely incapable of keeping up with your time? I’ve been an attorney for 3 years now and tried everything I can think of to figure this out but I just can’t do it. It’s the same thing at the end of every month - staying up late entering in an entire month of time. Luckily most clients I work for are flat fee/percentage based but I still feel like a failure for not being able to do this thing that seemingly every other lawyer can do. Any tips?

Lit associates-what all do you delegate to your assistant? What do you ask them to do that helps you manage your symptoms?

I forgot to take my medicine today. I realized it once I got into the office. I noticed my brain is extra sluggish and cloudy. So I checked my emergency at-work pills and I forgot to bring more. It would take over an hour to go home for meds and come back to work. I hate getting in these situations trying to figure out if I just stick it out at work, drive home and back to work, or call it a lost day and go home and back to sleep. It’s so frustrating that one change in routine can ruin the day.

Does anyone have tips/methods for staying on top of all the little things? I’m in litigation and it’s a constant struggle to make sure I have accurate and up to date ‘bring ups’ and that I float anf rename all my emails and get all my time in and update my partner etc. like I can maybe get 1 or 2 but I’m never on top of everything and it’s so hard!

My partner now accepts and understands I am just going to have some organised chaos but also I want to make this little shit work for me!

Lately been wondering if my meds are even working anymore… had to skip today’s dose (long story not worth telling) and, yeah, can now confirm my meds are working.

I’ve been on Adderall IR for awhile and just got prescribed Zoloft by my doctor today. Anyone have experience taking both meds?
(Asking because I was taking Adderall and Lexapro together years ago and had to stop because I started getting tons of random bruises, so I’m wondering if there’s anything y’all have experienced with Adderall & Zoloft.) Thanks so much!!

How do you approach the initial conversation with your doctor? I have taken a variety of both anti anxiety and anti depressants. Nothing works. I’ve been reading online and in this bowl, and a lot of ADHD symptoms really resonate with me. They have for a long time, frankly, but I couldn’t get my former provider to take me seriously when I was in college/law school. I’m hoping the context of being out of school helps, but I just want to make sure I maximize my odds of getting help (cont)

What are your favorite social media accounts/profiles for the ADHD community?

Guess who had to do a big chunk of sandbagged work on the last day of the billable year to be bonus eligible because their brilliant but disastrous brain had them convinced they met the hours threshold in early November? It’s me. Hi. I’m the problem. It’s me.

Does anyone have any tips for staying focused enough to bill consistently every day? It seems that I’m only able to bill the requisite 8-10 hours daily when I’m overwhelmed, not when I have a decent amount of work to do but no pressing deadlines. I made my hours last year but it’s been an absolute struggle trying to stay on track. I’m already down 170 hours from where I need to be at this point and unless I get my shit together, there’s no way I can hit hours. Ugh.

I’ve been on the same dose of Vyvanse since fall 2019. It still works. I notice a difference when I don’t take it. But I think I miss the rush I used to get when I would feel my meds kick in — like I could handle anything and I knew my meds were working. That plus the hyper focus that was still within my control (not the time blindness hyper focus where you fixate). Does anyone still get that? Is it worth trying to change my meds? Or is this just what it feels like to be “normal” now?

Big law. I liked it because it provided the panic-like environment that keeps me motivated enough to do work, but I’m struggling because being in a constant state of panic is extremely exhausting physically and mentally. But I’m having a hard time getting motivated if there is no fire drill. Anyone found anything on that has helped?

My job (biglaw, finance, midlevel) is a poor fit overall — both in the adhd sense and more broadly in that it doesn’t really play to my strengths. I am also your usual high achieving people pleaser (such a common species in this job). The combination of all of the above means I am unhappily slogging uphill to be a B/B+ associate in a job that doesn’t interest me in the least. I am planning to make a change in the spring. If what I wrote resonates, are you happier in-house? Any other thoughts?

I know I’ve seen a few similar posts before in the past, but do you guys have preferred/recommended apps to keep you organized and productive with work? I have my work calendar and synced through outlook on my phone, but just looking for suggestions to keep everything as organized as possible.

Has anyone tried Modafinil for ADHD?
