Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

How do you get more dopamine?
One of my favorite podcasts did an episode on Adderall. Most of the info won’t be new, but there were some interesting snippets in there. I also thought it was a useful educational resource to share with your family and friends.

I find reviewing and delegating work very challenging with ADHD. It requires a whole additional set of executive functioning skills to do. Review checklists help me.
Agreed. I don’t ask my high performing direct reports to use checklists but I frequently request it for lower performers or anyone who repeatedly performs the same error.
I don't think it's part of your ADHD. You know how to do the job, you did the job and apparently did it well because you got promoted to manager. It is human nature to want things done right -- or as right as possible. You may have to learn how to control that as a manager, offer constructive tips like "This is good, but do you think it might be a little better if we do it this way?" If your staff member can't take a hint, you may need to be a bit more direct and explain how he gets a better performance with less work if he follow the tips from someone who's been there and made all the mistakes you are trying to spare him from making.
I've never known if it's related to ADHD because I feel like it's just part of leadership, learning to not micromanage or control how everyone does things but allowing for each employee to do the work in their own way. Obviously there are some areas for correction, always, but I think this is just a part of becoming a manager, regardless of ADHD

I prefer to review others work than do it from scratch in most cases. I don’t know if it’s an adhd thing as much as it is a control thing, there are some things I prefer to do myself
