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

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.

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.

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

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.
