I’ve accepted that I’m a high performer generally but occasionally just get stuck in a lull where I can’t do anything. My super power is realizing it’s better to just take a nap or go for a stroll when I’m not going to be productive anyways.
I’m still working on this one
I’ve gotten a lot better at it but damn do I have room for improvement (I need to dodge “nap mode” more often IMO)
I’d say I’m about 60% successful at it currently
As someone with ADHD who has been a developer, a manager, an architect, and a tech lead… I give you permission. It’ll actually make you more productive and make work suck less.
I totally agree that it takes effort to train yourself out of the “Don’t be lazy” shame from growing up though.
I was actually really disappointed when I got my prescription, because I went home and tried it, and I felt nothing. From how other people describe it, I thought the clouds were gonna clear, the angels were gonna sing, and I would be reborn a new person. I genuinely thought the medicine wasn’t doing anything.
Anyways I then proceeded to play a colony sim for 12 hours straight without getting up or getting distracted even once so I think the medicine did something lmao
The ability to start and finish a task is pretty cool
The ability walk out of a room to grab something and remember what I was planning to grab is also pretty cool
Yes. Understanding what an asshole I’d been to a lottttta people, & the power to observe myself about to do it & then stop myself before I had Reactions To Things
I can have conversations without people assuming I’ve finished speaking and moving on when I’m pausing to try and collect my thoughts. That’s pretty nice lmao
