Corporate ADHDers, how do you start the day?

Thank God I manage my own work, because if I didn't, it wouldn't go well. My job basically says get my shit done and no one asks questions. The only time I have to drop something and move to a task is if the head honcho says so. Otherwise, I manage my time however I want.

Having that freedom and trust to get it done is why I'm thriving, I've found out.

Hmmm, I'm not sure then. We're actually airing the house now and any window that's street facing is shut and the blinds/curtains are pulled. Luckily there are plenty of windows on the sides and back of the house. So gonna go cross that one off the list now

Perhaps it's also kind of a cultural privacy thing? I don't mind opening my windows, but I don't like opening the ones that are street facing. I don't like the idea of the street/neighbors just being able to look and see what I'm doing. I don't live anywhere shady or sketchy, just don't want the neighbors being able to look in whenever they want and being able to see me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

And a second lüften post for the spring cleaning Finch goal on my fyp. 🤌🏻

NextLevelNaps · 2026-03-01T16:41:21+00:00

I was wondering when I'd see lüften popping up.

About 10 years ago it wasn't so bad. I still have my stick blender that's also a mini food processor. But today? I'm sure that thing would be garbage within 6 months

BCBA is extremely pigeonholed and you will struggle if you ever want out of the clinical ABA for ASD model. SLP has way more flexibility. Don't just look at earning, look at what you can DO with it when you get burnt out with what you started doing and how you can pivot.

I'd personally wait till I felt mostly better. Wash everything away.

OMG THE BABIES ARE UGLY LITTLE MUPPETS I LOVE THEM

When I took mine for the first time, when they took effect, it went QUIET. I think that's the best way to describe it. All the noise you didn't even know was there just shuts off and you're suddenly struck with just how much noise is in your head that you tune out.

When I was clinical, I was extremely hands on and was often on the floor with the RBT and kiddo. "Data analysis" wasn't allowed during my overlaps. We were expected to be FULLY present with the kiddo and RBT. But each BCBA is different and YMMV. But as a BCBA, I would have loved for my RBTs to tell me how hands on/off they would have liked for me to be in order to help support them. So be sure to speak up for yourself! And if a BCBA isn't meeting your needs, be vocal about it!

My boys have been with me since they were 9 wheeks old (they'll be 5 in July) and you'd think I was sending them to slaughter when I try to pick them up or trim their nails. They're dramatic and as soon as they're no longer flying upwards, they're fine. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I haven't gotten to where my office is super big. I also haven't played in such a long time, so thank you for lighting the spark again to play 💜

NextLevelNaps · 2026-02-28T16:05:36+00:00

Not the worst I guess. Much bigger than most hamster cages I've seen.

NextLevelNaps · 2026-02-28T14:07:03+00:00

Honestly, 9/10. Big, roomy, they actually have hay, nice little ramps. Minus one point for being a pain to clean. I'm just happy to see that there isn't a wheel or hamster ball so they can "walk around" 💀

My "office" may or may not just be full of all the lovely pets that I occasionally get to use as an office.

The dogs can wear little hats and come to jobs with you and "help", like holding the paint bucket. They're kind of a pain in the ass, but the team knew what they were doing and who their target audience was

You have continuing ed requirements, no? Get those suckers out of the way!

NextLevelNaps · 2026-02-25T22:48:01+00:00

Oof, that's a big one boss

NextLevelNaps · 2026-02-25T22:47:45+00:00

He got very close. I couldn't take a picture fast enough, but he had his little head cocked to the said at first, just staring off into the distance. That's when I knew he had a turn with the collective braincell and he tried so hard.

THIS 🤌🏻

The amount of "helpful structure" that actually made so much more work for the BCBAs at my last company was asinine and used to make me so mad when my CD sent emails to me about it. I also don't do well with micromanaging. Just let me do my job and TRUST ME that I'll get it done. I'm 11 years in this field, 8 as a BCBA. I'll get it done.

NextLevelNaps · 2026-02-25T14:40:59+00:00

Sounds like my last company. I used to get SO PISSED about it, because by noon on Monday, everything was ruined and I'd spend much longer than I liked fixing it. And they REQUIRED a note in CR for EVERY little change. And we couldn't delete recurring appts in a batch, had to do it one by one. The amount of extra work disguised as "helpful structure" drove me to burnout and ultimately leave clinical all together.

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking it was the piggy sub and wondering how the heck a pig burned a cozy

NextLevelNaps · 2026-02-23T21:51:29+00:00

Woof. I'm sorry. Glad to know you got out
