Writers in pharma with ADHD, any tips on tackling your workload without getting exhausted?
I’m taking an ADHD management course and the suggestion is to “task batch” things to take off the mental load (do all your calls at the same time, your revisions at the same time, video recordings at the same time etc.). Thing is, with routes, revisions, different stages of the projects, LOEs,onboarding, and the natural unpredictably of what’s on our plate on many days, it’s tough to do that. Got any tips?

I’m not in pharma, but I have raging ADHD and have been a copywriter. I always hated working in batches. It was the easiest way for me to lose interest quickly. I tended to do stuff by topic instead. Research a topic, revise anything that is even tangentially related to that research, send any follow up emails, etc. Task batching sounds like a great way to set yourself up for failure imo. The variation is what kept me engaged. Also, get a task manager like Basecamp if you aren’t using one already. That’s the only way I get anything done.

In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve
