So I was fired yesterday. I’m choosing to see this as an opportunity to make some changes, instead of just jumping into another law firm job I’m not cut out for. Does anyone have recommendations for career coaches, ADHD coaches, or ideally someone who does both?

Billable hour question: is anyone else just completely incapable of keeping up with your 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?

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.
