Sure, many of us have been thrust into the work-from-home life without choice. But here are 7 reasons why your brain might be suited perfectly for your new environment.
A weird thing about ADHD is that dealing with multiple stimuli of external sources, filtering them out and concentrating on your work, is virtually impossible; however, you can enhance your productivity through the use of one, single stimulus: music, of your choosing. I know from personal experience that listening to classical music can have a tangible positive impact on focus; I prefer baroque musicians, including Bach and Albinoni.
On a related note, while phone notifications and computer alert tones are distracting for EVERYBODY, for an ADHD people, such distractions are actually welcome when we have pre-set them to remind us of appointments and upcoming responsibilities. Raise your hand if you have ADHD and have ever honestly thought you might die while being forced to sit through a long meeting… Ha! I knew I wasn’t the only one.
