I’m curious what other people with ADHD do to get in the zone/right mental space for a workday? I’ll start - I like to work on whatever crafting thing is my current hyper focus (right now it’s embroidery). So every morning after I take my meds and before I log on, I sit outside and craft. What about you all?

I try to save all my fun things for a reward and motivator towards the end of the day. Helps me have something to look forward to.

I really enjoy listening to a meditation and use my morning time to prep any to do lists and try to review what’s needed for the day so I feel like I’m getting in the zone as my meds ramp up.

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

In going back after break, it’s too much of a contrast. I cannot sleep, I wake up in the middle of the night, “for the day”, about 6 nights a week. To stay structured, I go to “Surrender yoga” daily. I’m good to go do 1 more thing after yoga. I feel accomplished. Couching causes anxiety.

If you’re not competent enough to solve real problems in the organization, create a few minor problems that you can solve and look like a hero.

Only works managing up, tho.

Has anyone addressed their ADHD with their boss directly? For example, I have a really hard time with long meetings. I can’t sit still and pay attention and I wonder if sharing this with my boss would be helpful or if it would raise red flags. Funny enough, my job is very detail oriented.

Welcome to the ADHD at work bowl. I created this bowl as a way to just share stories, experiences, fears, concerns about working with ADHD. As I climbed the ladder I realize that I'm presented with new challenges with my condition.
