Wow if you have any adhd resources that helped, I’d love the recommendation!

As I’m learning more about adhd I’m realizing that I’m going to need to create better systems and more structure if I want to thrive somewhere where our projects are so ambiguous

We need a support group. Async meetings though because…we have so many meetings already

Its just a doc we update bi-weekly with everyones names, the date, and a status of “BURNT OUT,” “CHUGGIN ALONG,” “MID”, or “OOO”

Yeah see you get it 😂

Breathe in through your nose
Breathe out through your mouth
Open your eyes
Now put your fingers on the keyboard
Type “G-I-T-P-U-L-L”

Namaste.

It’s a lot and I think right now I’m just noticing the STARK difference in my schedule and heart rate between holiday break and being back at work after taking a couple of weeks 😂

Tonight I’m actually making a list-of-lists! I share your enthusiasm for a good list. Thank you for the tips friend 💕

I need to get some solid systems in place so that I can do my job effectively, support my colleagues, and still have time for the things I enjoy outside of work

Thanks so much for all of the helpful advice so far! 💕 (2/2)

I must be tired because I really sat here and googled “context merging” thinking you were being serious 😂😂

How do you make sure that everything ends up getting done eventually? Do you have a weekly/monthly way to organize it all?

And what happens if something sets you off course and you can’t get your one thing done that day?

Really great point, Amy and you’re spot on. My hands are tied though because this the Netflix way 😭 we operate very very lean

PPS - don’t tell me to “give myself grace” either because I can tell you right now I WILL NOT
