What are your hobbies and interests outside of work? Do you stick with them? I enjoy painting, but it takes a certain relaxed mindset and a full day with no other responsibilities.

Me too sometimes.

i really like to read and also play the guitar or ukulele. It's nice to have hobbies that don't involve electronics at all so that I can disconnect for a bit and just reset my mind. I try my best to stick to them but sometimes end up getting too busy, so I'm working on carving out specific time each week that I can dedicate to my hobbies.

Reminds me that my sis and I do jigsaw puzzles when we meet up on holidays and on trips. I found it made a good alternative to scrolling and more social. The rest of the family joins in randomly, but our adhd brains seem to like the hyper focus of it

How do you deal with the following - 1) lack of general organization in life, note taking, keeping track of your relationships and 2) attention to detail. These 2 things have been bothering me a lot. We all are smart as hell but silly mistakes such as spelling mistakes, broader checks to be done on the deck is killing me. Also I feel the lack of organization in personal life blows into professional as well. If you are a consultant how do u deal with it ?

Anyone else have a need to exercise daily? A lot of people judge me in a negative way and in reality it is because my ADHD brain needs it. 1) the consistency for schedule 2) exercise can help tone down the symptoms before I sit down for the work day 3) it is the only thing I can control to make it look like I am not a mess (disorganization, interrupting) - basically trying to stay in the game at work based on perception of “having it together”. Just wondering if anyone faces the challenges.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)
