  • This is something I tell my coworkers with ADHD as a senior level person and former manager - you need to accept yourself and what you can do. Sure, exploit the fuck out of brain on time and crash through tasks - but accept that this is temporary. Feeling in the dumps and guilty about not being productive - accept that this is also temporary and (I know this isn’t easy) try and tear yourself away from the task and be unproductive in the most pleasant manner… I try to go for walks when I’m in a slump and sometimes it lets me shuffle my brain enough to be productive - sometimes it doesn’t… but I’m happier having had a walk than zoning out in indecision.

    It’s all temporary - our most common strength is improvising and we need to respond to what our brain tells us instead of fighting it constantly and I hope you all have jobs that allow you to do so because I have had an “always on” job and it was absolutely miserable.
