there are ways to make it easier; it’s been gamified:

When my partner stops to play pokemon go, I complete some Open Street Map info quests…

I’d love it if you could expand on this to help me understand better…

I’ve had meditation suggested to me many times, and I just don’t get it…

It leaves me wondering “What am I missing?”!

Similar to many others on here, I’m terrible at time estimation, so I have to literally track backwards from the time I need to be there with things I need to do along the way, so:

Need to be there at 8am Driving takes 30mins (730) Shower 15mins (715) Tidy up and get my travel drink 20mins (0655) etc.

Then I also usually add 15mins to get lost or find parking. (0640)

Then I know what time to get up etc.

(Then I usually panic that I need more buffer and add another 30mins and get up at 0610!)

Oh… And the calendar thing. If its not in the calendar, it doesn’t happen…

Anything with a fast beat and no lyrics.

I have a Spotify playlist I found called “drum’n’bass no lyrics” that fits the bill.

Also use any of the bonkers releases (favourite is bonkers 14) but they have lyrics… I’ve found that once I’ve listened to them a few times though I don’t notice the lyrics anymore…

Best backpack I’ve ever owned for EDC and camera.

I’ve also added the mk1 camera cube for trips where I take a lot of camera gear.

Just be aware the company is REALLY slow to ship… Like, TRAGICALLY bad… I had to wait months each time I’ve bought stuff… That being said though, I’d wait again… And I’m about to buy a new prima system as this one is getting old (after many years of EDC) and I’m looking at the XPAC version.

I’ve made a career out of my ADHD in a presales engineering role… (And ending up in product management).

I did need to get the social aspects under control (mostly learning to slow down, and to learn when to shut up!), but this was all very manageable if you can take feedback and hyperfocus on putting it in action… 🤪

I liked that I got to work on the 20% of the customers problem that was the “rocket science” bit, and we would sell consulting services to do the bits that were more like “making license plates”…

Also, having a new audience every week meant I got to really practice and hone my presentation and soft skills which are super important.
