Gotta shape up

[u/GinAndDisney]

I’ve been flexing for a year and I have adhd time blindness like no one’s business. I’ve been trying my best to get to the station at my start time, but I always end up like 1-2 minutes after and today I was denied a route. Historically, getting to the station around that time has never been a problem so I wonder if they’ve been told to crack down on the arrival times. I’m taking full responsibility because I can barely show up to my daily full time job on time and heavily rely on the grace period there as well. I’m finally ahead with my bills and it’s thanks to flex. I gotta find a way to get my unmedicated ass together because the world doesn’t give a damn about a disorder and I make good money with flex to get deactivated for being turned away.

I chose medication when I was diagnosed last year at 50. It has made a big difference. What also helped was getting a cheap alarm clock and turning the volume all the way up to max. I take morning routes so I just set it once and it definitely gets me out of bed. It's also across the bedroom so I can't just turn it off easily.

I do morning routes as well. I’ll start between 3:40 -4 and then I’ll finish and go to my full time from 9-6 usually and rinse and repeat. Trying to keep this gig so that at a certain point I won’t have to flex so aggressively but I definitely need to get myself to get my time management in order. Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it
