What are you having trouble with? Concentrating ? (I have adhd and ir has many facets - like disorganization etx- that’s why I ask). Do you find you go into hyper focus when you research something interesting ? I’ve actually found it to be a huge asset in this way.
Can yo set alarms for when you’re supposed to finish stuff? And to checkin w yourself that you’re focusing on the right thing ?
Hi! So, I also have ADHD. Granted, I take medication, but I still struggle. Here’s what I do:
-Find which times I work the best. For me it’s morning. So I block out time and work alone in a phone room when I write for at least two hours.
-I work on a project for 25 minutes. I don’t allow myself to look at any social, texts, whatever. When 25 minutes is up, I take a five minute break where I can do whatever. Then I repeat.
-I’m open to my manager (I’m blessed to have a good relationship). I know that’s not a possibility for everyone.
-I think of my inability to focus as meter that tells me what projects I care about/what I should be asking for more of. Obviously you can’t always work on stuff you care about, but it’s nice to keep track so you know which projects you might have trouble on.

1. Register your ADHD with HR so you are protected against medical conditions
2. See a behavioral therapists or coaches or occupational therapist, etc for practice and tips
I have pretty severe add and have been fired twice. It’s brutal, mostly because nobody particularly believes or cares.
Do you take anything?

Being in stimulant is tricky but can only handle XR right now
Also does anyone have any good apps that work for productivity ?
I’ve heard good things about “Be Focused - Focus Timer” and Flora
If you struggle w aspects of productivity aside from focus (eg disorganization), there are a lot of great resources out there to help w this (books, online classes etc). Also, adhd coaches are a thing, I have an amazing one to recommend in the NY area if that’s home.
