Modafinil and efficiency: Please share experiences with time-blindness, being inefficient and not 80/20 with tasks because of over focus. I feel on stimulants it's very difficult to be "quick" which is key in strategy consulting. Anyone have solutions here? I realised modafinil helps but it drains the hell out of you and completely destroys your sleep. That's my concern.

Tips for just getting started, with the day especially, or even just a bad task later on after a few productive hours? I can have a stack of billables to do, but if it isn’t truly urgent, it’s just like a giant mental wall preventing me from getting things done. Medicine doesn’t help. It’s like I need the fear of god in me to get anything done and the moment I’m not scared of getting fired, I just... can’t. Things are OK at 2 am for some reason though.

The pandemic, mental health issues, and financial stress caused my work to suffer. What do I do?

Well, got my annual physical, and I have high blood pressure, just shy of hypertension. I work out, eat very healthy and I’m fairly young. I think the likely culprit is the stress of producing because they found no other health reasons that would cause it.

Has anyone else in the bowl dealt with HBP related to work stress? If so, was there anything you did that helped address it? As stressful as it is, I love producing, and I don’t like the idea of leaving the field if I can manage it.

Currently 1-1.5 years out of college, working at a T2 firm doing commercial due diligence work. Have gotten some offers but confused about which one to take:

1. OW PE team, joining in a position higher than at my current firm, basically skipping a year. OWs PE practice as far as I know doesn’t have huge market share
2. McKinseys PE practice but coming in a position lower than where I currently am
3. Stay at my current firm which is experiencing high growth

End goal is to move to the buy side

Which version of “me” is right?

I'm pretty proud of the progress I've made when it comes to staying on task in my work life. What I'm having bigger issues with is transitioning from one thing to another. Ex..I'll go to pour a glass of water after finishing something, realize the trash needs to be taken out, realize I need to walk down to pick up my mail, etc. Any tips on making this easier?

Has anyone used the Done. ADHD service? I’ve been thinking about using it since my psychiatrist is never available and ADHD clinics around me seem so expensive.

Has anybody had experience "discovering" themselves and how did you do it?

I don't know if this is the ADHD but I've been at my firm for a year and not one day have I woken up with motivation to go above and beyond the bare minimum. I haven't been passionate or interested in any project I've been on. Outside of work, I have a few small hobbies but nothing I'd consider a true passion. Everybody says "just find a job in something you like" but idk if I like anything enough to make it a career!

Hey! I am starting Vyvanse tomorrow. I am a lil nervous because I always have trouble falling asleep even with no ADHD mention. If you take Vyvanse, what do you do to prevent insomnia? I appreciate any tips!

My biggest ADHD symptom is - Getting easily frustrated with the smallest things. Lashing out or being constantly irritated with everything. Happens especially at the end of the day when the Vyvanse medication is wearing off. Also, happens on non-medicated days.

Anyone else struggle with this? I have been trying to meditate and being aware of my surroundings.
