4 strategies I use to manage my ADHD at work, from 'monotasking' to creating rituals
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Anna Seirian, a 35-year-old startup founder and TikTok influencer. It has been edited for length and clarity.
For a few months, I freelanced. It was hard to force myself to sit down and work. I didn't want to let my work struggles get in the way of what I wanted in life. I set up a Patreon account where followers could sign up for $5 a month in March 2021. I set up three one-hour sessions a week as a side hustle, alongside freelance and part-time jobs, and anybody who was in my Patreon community could join.
I usually have my Zoom screen open behind the other windows on my computer and go about my day. I recently used the session to get through my inbox. Someone else in the session was recording a workout video, and someone else was waking up and getting ready. I often overestimate how much I can achieve in one day. I learned about"" after my diagnosis when I realized others experienced it, too. It was incredibly liberating to realize.
I keep lists to capture ideas that I know I can come back to. I used to write on tiny sticky notes. That was extremely chaotic because they're so small.
