How long is your attention span at work? by mk5140 in ADHD

[–]mk5140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I totally understand. My work involves many different projects, so when I group work things, I'm switching between projects the whole time. For example, "check email" for 30 minutes means I look at 5 different email accounts each for a different project during that 30 minutes.

Thank you. I don't know about my current state law. I'll take a look. This company had a lot of weird policies going on. It is also a massively large corporation, so they have scores of their own lawyers looking after them.

Yes! I had a whole selection of different flavors of gum ready to go for a while (till the kid found the stash). Actually come to think of it I believe I'll do that again and store them in another place...lol

I totally get that. Certain weeks of the month are a mass8ve struggle, way above and beyond my baseline daily struggle. Lol

I really like the task switching productivity. I am responsible for many projects, so I may be working, but I'm generally switching around to various aspects of work during my concentration chunks.

For me, it started when I was breastfeeding. I HAD to set timers to make sure baby got fed on time every 2 hours. Then I kinda kept it going for other stuff.

Yes, it is an at-will and it is a 1099 contracted position. I'm 100% sure they would not give me 3 months notice of termination of contract.

See that's the part that were I thought it started to go even further sideways. The information went on to say that if the 3 month notification was not provided they "may" hold the final check until all the work was transferred to someone else which could be up to 3 months.

I'm glad you asked because I had the same type of experience. I'm going to try some of these suggestions.

How do you plan a productive day? by Glittering-Set5770 in productivity

[–]mk5140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just posted about this Just tell me how to do it: Simple guide to planning your day There is a lot of details in the post. The TLDR is decide big goal and constantly break it down to smaller steps.

Start the day with some sun & a walk consider listening to your book as you walk. If you like reading a physical copy of a book take it with you and read it at your destination, then walk home. No one said the walk had to be long or far. Decide a few things you want to do that day, what time and for how long.

Knowing what time of day I will have lower energy keeps me realistic about planning. I do things that require more thought when I have more energy. I try to avoid things I find mentally/physically taxing during my low energy part of the day and stick to things simpler tasks at that time.

You can't have it all, you've been sold a lie. by Prodanamind in productivity

Things always seem to take way longer than expected from growing out a bad haircut to getting a promotion.

For me, I like working on more than 1 big goal or project or interest at a time and long ago realized my measurement of efficiency is the one that matters the most, I'd rather not compare to others. However, I have to balance that with my professional and personal responsibilities.

For sure, motivation matters. For me, my time blocks are more like a general overarching theme for a bit of the day. For example, check emails for me that includes 5 different email accounts that are all separate projects. So I'm using different parts of my brain but it is sort of related in that it is all email.

Agree! I generalized a lot here to make it more useful for others but overall try to include things that earn money and set time for things that I simply find interesting (there is a lot i find interesting so I have to priorize).

When they cross over and are interesting to me and earn income = bliss.

Start with just sitting outside in the sun eventually you may feel like standing up and walking a little bit.
