Following! In this same vein, does anyone have an app they utilize to both manage ADHD and stay organized/productive? My sisters a psych nurse practitioner and says most of the ADHD-focused ones are snake oil, but I wasn’t sure if anyone would recommend one not specifically tailored for the disorder.

Nice! I’ll check it out! Thanks for posting.

P.S. One resource I would recommend is the ADHD subreddit, whether you’re looking for info or an ear! https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/s/SdyzH8hJl0

I'll be honest I have never been a big Reddit person until recently and I have found so many things of value on there. Makes me wish I had started using it sooner. Definitley going to have to bookmark this page and go through it when I have some focus.

A Mind for Number + Ultralearning - not geared towards ADHD, but personally very helpful. In my experience, having ADHD makes all tasks somewhat of a self learning exercise, and these books are a great starter kit.

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step. Im confident in the value I can provide and do well at presenting it. However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

Hey all just FYI my psych told me in my appointment that stimulants ordered from Express Scripts often give patients problems...including me. Felt like I was taking something totally different.

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent. She said when I’m engaged it’s great but need to keep it going. I’ve mentioned my ADHD previously but I’m sure she doesn’t know all the components of what that means. We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
