Break the task to 10min interval, tell yourself I will watch reels or phone after that. Once you are in the task ,you continue working. This helped me. Also the warning on medicine saying it's addictive and the price forced me adopt above startergy😅

I mean mine is fairly reasonable. The one I'm put on is like 840-1200 a month. Still experimenting with medicines as per the doc

Software Test - QA

I've had problems with focus my entire life with procrastination issues. I decided to pursue a diagnosis.  Also I spoke to my folks about my diagnosis and they told me we know. You were tested when you were a kid. We just thought it was temporary

No bro, vapes give you popcorn lungs, search for the vape story post on grapevine. OP had slim chance of long term survival, hope he's alright.

Generalist

I've always suspected it but never got an official diagnosis done. I just try to have 3-4 main priority tasks per day that need to be done and focus on doing those. Self employed, so boss complaining about working hours isn't an issue.

Out of context question.  
 What makes you go to for adhd diagnosis ?

I fill up my plate with too many things to do. Generally end up finishing 90 percent of them. Also being a generalist helps.

Founder

I generally feel a lot of product managers have adhd as the chaos and higher dopamine payoff + firefighting makes our lot feel more at home in this role.

Product Owner

I wanna ask this too, specifically in the context of corporate environment.

I have been recently diagnosed with mixed anxiety and mild depression by a psychiatrist and was prescribed medication. Also asked to exercise everyday and pursue my hobby of reading. Any other tips on how to handle depression better while I am on medication?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

The past week hasn't been good. Not sure why but I am doing blunders at my work. Confidence is at its lowest, imposter syndrome is kicking in as hard as never. 

Thought of switching from PMing also came in, but again not sure what is happening. 

For some reason, I am not feeling good about myself and I am not able to figure out why. 

Mind is totally fucked up, and it's hampering my work now. 

Need help, what should I do to feel calm.😞

ADHD is ruining my work as a PM

I haven't been doing mentally well since I don't know when. I've  been extremely self critical about myself to the extent that it has negatively affected my relationship with loved ones. I think I have ADHD as I strongly feel I have the symptoms that are described in YouTube or in any article online. To make matters worse, I am not doing well in terms of my career, my finances have taken a hit, have gained 12+ kilos since a year, unable to focus on work and upskilling and I have anger issues. 
I am 30 YO and I feel my life is turning into a disaster.
Can someone please recommend therapists in Bangalore to whom I can talk face to face? 
I sometimes feel I'm seeking sympathy but in reality, I just need help.
There is a lot of guilt, regret and self hatred rooted deep inside me which has wrecked my confidence, self love, compassion which has started to affect others.
So if you guys know anyone, please let me know.

These past 6 months my performance at work has been dwindling and one primary reason I attribute is memory loss. I find it difficult to recall key points of mails, design reviews, MoMs etc. and often end up missing out things at assigned tasks. What's scarier is that it not only applies to new concepts, I often find myself forgetting even formerly familiar things. During morning updates and discussions I find myself giving uncertain inputs and asking shaky questions because I find it hard to remember key terms, figures etc. I sometimes even forget to pick up some assigned tasks altogether. Random brain freezes have become everyday affair.
.
Sleep-wise it has been little medium-poor but not so bad that could explain such drastic changes. I'm 30 yr old, male, unmarried and don't have any major health issues (except some stress / anxiety and accompanying Irritable Bowel Syndrome condition).
.
If anyone else experienced this, how have you dealt with it?

Anyone else experiencing memory loss?

Yes everyone experiences this 
 I sometimes forget what I was working on 
 I forget things in short term 
 I don’t know if it’s some kind of coping mechanism 
 The only solution is to write stuff or journal not just personal but work stuff too. 
 I used to have Jira but now I have a piece of notebook with me too giving me the top priority tasks.

Does anyone know a psychiatrist who can test you for ADHD and give counselling for the same.

I have seen my attend span dwindle and I procrastinate a lot. I am worried that it will hamper my career trajectory.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

For me 5 - I start by 11 and end by 7 but take an hour lunch break, 4-5 tea/coffee breaks and some gossips - I tracked one day and it was 5.2 hrs.


What about you?

How many hours do you actually work per day?

I have adhd so I don't (read : can't) work until 2 days before sprint is about to get over then wrap the stuff up with anywhere between 8-10 hours pn both days.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I’ve lately been struggling with keeping my energy levels up through the day. My lifestyle isn’t that bad. Decent sleep, frequent exercise, I’m happy etc

But I find myself zoning out of conversations and this is affecting my ability to be “liked” at the workplace.

It’s not even about being liked, but as a person I don’t like not being able to 100% be there for people when they’re talking to me. It’s what makes us human, in a way.

People who are high energy, have you figured what your secret might be? 

thanks 🙏🏻

People who are generally energetic, how do you do it?

I was in a similar situation where I felt lost and disconnected throughout the day. Things that worked for me:- 
  
 (1) Cut caffeine and sugar completely - strictly 0% consumption. Caffeine is really bad for sleep quality. 
 (2) Increase vitamin D intake - sunlight and supplements. Deficiency leads to general fatigue and brain fog. 
 (3) Improve sleep quality - have camomile tea, get a good mattress and comforter, sleep before 1 AM to be in deep sleep in the 2 AM to 4 AM range 
 (4) Cold showers - not sure if they do anything at all but I've felt a noticeable increase in energy levels after doing them (even if placebo)

Ok now, good tips on how to stop procrastination and actually get stuff done?

There's no 1 answer to it. It cannot be solved in an instant. I attend therapy to deal with issues in my life. I find Procrastination a single most disastrous thing in my life.  
    When discussed, I was told that focus on self Discipline. Here are things i was told - 
 1. Try to make a timetable which has all the indulgences you do(netflix etc) and also the work you wanna do, experiment with time tables to understand what works. 
 2. Try to get to root of the problem when you procrastinate. Find out why you are doing it. I do it knowingly as in, I am consciously aware of it. I am now in pursuit of finding why I do it when I do it and sticking to a plan I make. 
 3. I have made a note of how harmful Procrastination has been in my life, how it has affected so many aspects of my life 
 4. Procrastination is a way of dealing with your emotions so that you get the immediate dopamine hit instead of a reward far later in your life. So, I am told that it's like having a relationship with yourself. You reason with yourself and understand why you are procrastinating, what emotions are you feeling that is making you procrastinate and how do you solve for it! Remember, being hard on yourself is just gonna make matters worse! Always do truth seeking for these things, be kind to yourself. Little by little you should be able to navigate.  
  
 Unfortunately without knowing what kind of Procrastination you have, it's not advisable to take up my points. I suggest consult with a therapist and talk it out and solve for it!

Recently read about something called short attention span and was taken aback by the very evident thing present in my habits and day in day out task that I carried out. Started observing in much more detail about how this is really affecting me and results are not really good. This is probably the root cause of all my unproductiveness. Feels like toddler now.
Observations
1.  mobile is directly or indirectly the reason behind this (Started reading books in order to overcome). 
2. Trying to do multiple things at once eventually leading to doing nothing.
You all get the gist. This is nothing strange. 
So wise people of grapevine how do you overcome this and also how do you reduce your screen time.

Dealing with short attention span

Hi guys so finally went to psychiatrist he prescribed me some medications. I am just worried about its side effects.

And i have habit of overthinking in worst case scenario. 

Not sure what to do.

Went to psychiatrist. Just nervous about side effects if any?

(Fresher) I currently work in a MNC with 6 lpa and I have no interest in coding unfortunately. I am in the Cloud Native Azure domain. I was assigned a task of creating a dot net based project but I haven't done anything as of yet. I don't know what to do now 😭
How will I survive in this field without any coding knowledge? Please let me know if anyone faced the same during their initial days.

Figuring out what to do in my life

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I'm working at a decently large firm here in Bangalore, leading a cool project that involves stuff I really like, like modeling and data engineering. Plus, I'm helping leadership team with some cool projects which is giving me a lot of visibility in the org. Lately I'm finding it hard to stay motivated.

I'm on medication and seeing a therapist for depression, and I’ve been feeling a lot better overall. It's just that with all these responsibilities I'm not feeling happy. I sometimes vent out on juniors or colleagues (erratic behaviour).  

Has anyone else gone through something like this? What helped you get past this kind of mental block? Any tips or advice would be really helpful.

Mental Health Challenge @work

Curious if there's any legit places where one could get tested diagnosed for
ADHD in Bengaluru.
Will be helpful if you can share:
-What's the process like?
- Timeline
- Costing
- Does it even make sense to get tested?
- Anything else in terms of advice etc?
