What do you do when you make mistakes bc of a lack of attention to detail? Failed to double check something that seemed minuscule arm blew up and got client involved as well.

I feel like this kind of mistakes happen at least 2x/year and I feel miserable every time it happens. I’m surprised that I’m not fired yet.

OP, you won't like my advice.

The best thing you can do is to be kind to yourself.

If you have adhd you're more likely to have rejection sensitivity dysphoria which means mistakes like this hurt extra :(

You're talented I'm sure. You're at a great firm (mckinsey) and you have probably done work that could make an outsiders head spin. Give yourself some credit!

Have a drink. Take a walk. Give yourself grace.

I had major issues early on with this + rejection sensitivity. Any type of feedback at the Firm is basically painful for me. Learned to just prioritize 1 hr after finishing something to review and never hit send when you’ve worked on something in a rush/while multitasking.

Happy to help, OP :)

I sometimes double or triple check even my emails before I send because of rejection sensitivity lol. I take feedback straight to the heart and it’s very painful. Someone told me to make a list of things to check before you send a deliverable out. Things such as font size consistency, Color scheme, alignment, footnotes, story board, data accuracy etc.

Here is my dilemma: I was passed up for manager promo last year and rightfully so a lot of my feedback was definitely correlated to me not properly handing my symptoms causing a good bit of inconsistencies in my performance especially if I lacked interest.

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!
