IDK much about how ADHD works, but I have the kind that means I can’t not focus on something I get interested in, and I really struggle to focus on anything else. It’s great for learning, because I can stick at it for hours upon hours without a break, but it’s terrible for getting work reports out on time.
That’s actually a symptom of adhd in general. The two main differentiators seem to be inattentive or compulsive, or a combo of the two (I have the combo). Hyperfocus sucks as much as you describe because sometimes it’ll end up being 3 AM and you know you needed to go to sleep hours ago, but you really just need to understand everything about penguins and why they have knees.
as someone currently looking into combo ADHD “tips” / helpful info, who is currently writing this at 3:30am and who needed to go to sleep hours ago, I feel this on a personal level…
also, TIL

The best things I did for myself was go to a neuropsychologist since they will tell you exactly where you struggle in terms of development. For example, I learned that I have trouble processing lots of information or responding to information quickly. So from there I was able to figure out what I personally needed to concentrate on improving for myself at work. The second thing was talking to a doctor about medication. I’m currently on the generic for cymbalta for depression/anxiety, and vyvanse as a stimulant and I’m in a pretty good spot overall.
The best tips I can provide is being present in every action you take and do things when you get the motivation to do them, especially if it’s something you’ve been putting off. Oh, and lists and calendars are your friends. The more notes you can take about what you need to do, harder it is to forget you need to do stuff. Need to get something done but struggling to start? Break the task down into little bite sized pieces, do the first few things and you might get hooked into the rest and find you’re done before you know it.
