    OK, but I’m ADHD as fuck and keeping a journal/lists of what I want to do and need to get done and what I did do that day has really helped me out a lot in the last few years.

    I use something like the Bullet journal method she talks about here. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jkZEEQG6IVE

    Modified for how much of a slacker I am at filling it out. Because this way its an organization structure but its a voluntary one that I made and can change myself which I find to be a big thing. Because I need some kind of structure and organization but if its forced externally or I can’t change it to suit my current needs than I will just rebel against it and hate it.

    And no I don’t manage to fill it out every day but I don’t pre fill the days so there isn this big chunk of blank spaces waiting to accuse me of not using the journal as often as I should. If I skip a week I just start on the next page anyways. The big thing was its a system to organize the lists otherwise you just end up with a doom pile of lists you made. Some of which might be really important.

    I would never recommend people out themselves to a potential employer. I talk about my ADHD and amphetamines lots at work now but that’s because I’m in a position where I am a relatively rare commodity and my job is already seen as the weirdos on site. I do it knowing it won’t make my job easier but because I see so many apprentices struggling with the same shit without realizing they might just be different from other people. And the amphetamine talk shocks people which I find funny but anyways. Maybe some day it’ll be OK to do but for now I have to assume that outting yourself as autistic or ADHD is just a good way to get discriminated against in most fields.
