ADHD at Workplace
~ Check to see if any of the following fit your situation ~
-
Great at getting urgent/quick "put out fires" tasks, but cannot create long-term project plans. Difficult to break up a big project into smaller pieces with milestones with the appropriate time estimates and the right sequence.
-
Perfectionism makes it difficult to complete tasks. Sometimes, I even get afraid of starting projects because I may not be able to be "perfect." So, I divert to small tasks I can easily "complete" to check off at least many small things.
-
I am so into something interesting. I come up with great ideas. I am so good at it! But if it is not interesting, I cannot do it and drag it for weeks. I try to do it, but I procrastinate and do something more interesting. Then I realized I had put that off again. Then I started asking, "Why am I always like this?" Then I start blaming myself, and that gets emotionally hard to deal with, so I end up doing something else again.
-
Wait until the last minute, although I know I must start early. I know my anxiety builds up, and that is unbearable. But still cannot start anytime earlier.
-
I work SO hard throughout the day, but I always feel like nothing is done at the end of the day.
-
Cannot prioritize - jump into things right in front of me. i.e.) the e-mail on top of my screen, or the phone call I get at that moment. Cannot plan out the day to get the critical things done.
-
I have multiple planners, notes, or stickies because I fear forgetting them. I write down things to remember but cannot remember where I wrote them. Because of this, I am always afraid of "forgetting things" and "including things" in all my tasks.
-
I am a lister. I like to list things because it helps me think through what I need to do in detail. But when I look at the list afterward, it is so overwhelming that I cannot even look at it.
-
I know I need to be more proactive and strategically think about what to do, but I feel like I have no time to do so. I always end up responding to quick requests or doing smaller tasks throughout the day.
-
When I hyperfocus, I get many things done, but it only happens at the last minute. I desperately wish it had happened earlier, but it never happens.
-
I know what to do in the next few days or next week, but I cannot see anything further down. So, I never have enough time to prepare for meetings or finish the report.
