Who else uses Waze or Google Maps times as a game to beat? I got in hyperfocus in a 1200 mile drive for Spring Break and that was keeping me alert. I also gamify working out.

What else do you gamify? What do you gamify with work (sales quotas withstanding if you are in sales I am not)?

Really good idea.
I sometimes gamify household stuff like speed cleaning.
A couple times I took a before photo and after photo with a clock to show what a difference 15 minutes can make to a messy kitchen or closet. It’s a big dopamine hit to see such a transformation of a room in a surprisingly short period of time.

Yes! or before coffee finishes brewing.

..also recently “gamified” email cleanup.
Wrote down all of my accounts and wrote down the # of unread per each and gave myself an hour to aggressively delete, unsub, and get the unreads to 0. I got through at least 1000 unread emails.

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.

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 ?

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?

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.

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!

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)
