You are correct... btw you made me remember other two priority items on my to-do list that were supposed to finish last week.

Haha! Most people don't get it, but it's a real issue for the ADHD folks over here. That's why we have to create spaces like this, so we can feel normal about not getting important things done on time! ;)

Yep. Filed last week. Side not I may have been eligible for a special extension through Feb and almost took that but didn’t

omg thanks for the reminder.. I was doing the same thing lmao

Umm yeah. It’s an issue for me too.

Side note. US is one of the only places in the world where residents have to calculate their own taxes. And isn’t it silly that the IRS checks our work and will penalize us if we miscalculate?

It’s a completely messed up system. And adhd’ers pay dearly for it

…tbh it’s not easy. Being forgetful or distracted has definitely cost me a lot over the years. But my desire for variety has sparked my desire to learn and experience many different things. Playing ceo is just one

Omg OMG

Filed tonight. 😅😅

Yeyyy!!!

Me: Once I hit a slow period, I’m gonna get caught up on my backlog of substantive and admin tasks so that I’m not so overwhelmed and disorganized once the pace picks back up.

Also me: Wow, my work finally slowed down! … hey, where did all my motivation to get caught up go?…

Also also me: I’ve had three slow days and haven’t used that time wisely, so maybe I should ask for more work!

New to Toronto, moved to the west end of town/ just past - in Etobicoke. I celebrate my 40th a few days after NYE/NYD - would love some recommendations on moderately priced but nice ambiance restaurants for myself + husband, and my extended family. Everyone is scattered throughout (Hamilton, Barrie, Lyle, Newmarket, North York). Don’t want anything too fancy but don’t really know where or what is good and not downtown.


Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).

As someone with ADHD, the impulsive side of me speaks up in meetings without fully processing the information. Then when corrected, I beat myself up for the rest of the day.

What has ended up happening over time is that I have started to come off as an introvert (because of the fear of being wrong) and also with low confidence. This is not a good trait in client facing roles where we are constantly making recommendations and clients look up to us.

Anyone else deal with this?
