What’s everyone’s daily routine like? I struggle to keep a schedule and most definitely suffer from time blindness. I bounce between wanting to establish a strict routine and then not bothering because I know I won’t stick to it.

I set a timer and work in 40 minute blocks since that's the extent of time I'm capable of focusing on one thing. Once the timer goes off, I take a short walk to get away from my computer. After 5-10 minutes, I go back and get started chipping away at another 40 minute block.

I’ll have to give this a try. This seems doable even as a chronic procrastinator

I agree with Analyst 1. Time blocking helps a lot. I find 45 min. work + 15 min. works best for me.

Also Lunatask is helpful. It took me some trial and error. I'm still working at it.

There is a lot of time I've spent going back and forth. It seems I adjust my schedule every week. That's ok. That's progress. You got this! 🙂

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks. While I act incredibly fast if not immediately with some, I sometimes take 1-2 weeks with couple of hours worthy ones. Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?
