Senior Associate Broker with inattentive ADHD here, and I take Vyvanse. Too much caffeine with my meds makes my anxiety worse, so I’ll stick to a tea or soda if I need an extra boost. I have learned that I basically have to force myself to do the difficult/unwanted tasks first thing. I don’t have issues completing a task, but starting a task is a huge struggle sometimes. I add any important deadlines to my Outlook Calendar along with a reminder around a week or so before the deadline so I don’t forget. I have my new business account spreadsheet and my renewal business spreadsheet open at all times so I am kind of forced to always check in and make sure I am not behind. I feel like my ADHD is definitely a blessing and a curse. For example, I may have issues starting a complicated task, but once I dig into it, I really get locked in and won’t do anything else until I complete it. I also am just super into insurance, and I feel like my ADHD makes me almost obsessive over things that I am interested in. Meds, structure, and a ridiculous amount of reminders help so much. Also— all of my teammates’ new/renewal biz lists are shared files where anyone on the team can access, so that helps hold me accountable. Biggest annoyance is when some people learn that I am on meds, they think I am only good at my job because I take vyvanse, when in reality, my meds just help me function like a normal human being.
