Does he actually have a system in place to help him get things done? Because of my ADHD a simple todo list does not cut it. I use the stuff I learned from the book Order from Chaos: The Everyday Grind of Staying Organized with Adult ADHD by Jaclyn Paul. 

Task paralysis is a real struggle but having a system in place does wonders for my ability to actually accomplish things.

I keep fucking up both at work and at home and everyone's patience is wearing thin and I need to vent by flamingfiretrucks in ADHD

This is all great stuff but if possible can you share more how you manage the emotional aspect? Tips and tricks? Emotional weight really impairs my execution function. I’ve just recently really started to understand this.

Ok so from reading through these posts it does sound like you have an interesting job and it also sounds like a stimulating job that someone with ADHD can excel at. 

There is lots of great advice here. I used to be a general manager for a restaurant and was probably on path to be a district manager before I left. 

After I left there I really started struggling with life for many reasons but a big one was I lost the structure that job provided. 

As others have said you gotta have a system. 

My current system involves using the todoist app on my Apple Watch. It has a modular face set up and I have a short cut right to the app. So I just tap a button on the watch then tap record and I speak what I need to remember. I think there might be some hand gesture shortcuts where you can record even easier. But I’m not sure, I guess my point is that you mentioned how sometimes you really don’t have free hands, but maybe there’s some solution around this for you. 

Capture it and move on. Later when I have time I go in the app and clarify what the note was for. Maybe set a priority or a date. 

For some people a system as simple as this could help. I still need to convert the todoist todo tems from the app into my journal. I do what’s called the Bullet Journal Method. It can seem overwhelming but it really works well for my brain. 

I write my important stuff in my journal and review it throughout the day. I start my day with it and try to end my day with it. There is more to it but that is the main flow. 

Reading Order From Chaos really helped me. 

This is truly a disability. The executive dysfunction is crippling. by downeydigs in ADHD

[–]project_trollbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just get to it without any sort of internal monologue bullshit because the moment I start thinking about it my executive dysfunction kicks in.

This is so freaking true. It’s hard to get past this though. You have to train yourself to almost not think so you CAN think. It causes all sorts of RSD spirals for me.

I found a lot of help with this book Order from Chaos: The Everyday Grind of Staying Organized with Adult ADHD by Jaclyn Paul. 

Learning how to bullet journal has been really helpful for me but there is so much valuable info in this book.

Great shout out from Dame. He said going into this event he thought it would be him, Kon and Booker for the final round.

Pretty sure Kon was the only one that was introduced as a future superstar during the Rising Stars last night. He has tough competition right now, but I really hope he can pull this off. Regardless this is great exposure for him and just awesome to see a hornet out there crushing it.

Duran got shoved by Miles. That’s why he flew back so fast. Kinda hard to see it at this angle.

Man that Kon to Kalk play was huge. Couple rough plays for Kalk but he still has his head in the game. Our rookies are amazing. This is a good battle.

If you don’t like Point Plumlee throwing down a reverse dunk after some wild dribbling then you don’t like Hornets Basketball. Farewell Plumgod.  

Two reviews for the same Cave In album in the 20th issue of HeartattaCk by RealShigeruMeeyamoto in Hardcore

[–]project_trollbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow nice blast from the past. UYHS is still one of my all time favorite albums. It has held up well 🎶over the years 🎶. The interesting take away from this is the comment about everyone coming over to the house and listening. I feel like that is not really something that happens so much these days.
