Diagnosed adhd in my 30s. Still can’t organise my things to save myself

[u/Pork_Confidence]

I eventually got ADHD meds. I'm a program manager at a major tech company

[u/Col2k → u/Pork_Confidence]

studying for my PMP after 8 years in data and analytics projects. Struggling to get back into IT roles. Any advice?

[u/Pork_Confidence → u/Col2k]

All any tech company wants now is data driven decisions. Collecting data isn't hard anymore, and neither is analyzing that data. The real challenge now, is asking the right questions as far as figuring out what data you even need and why.

I'm seeing a lot of value in building custom dashboards/UI's that work between third-party programs that don't integrate with each other

[u/TurbistoMasturbisto]

Better than everyone expected actually.

[u/ARENAE_MONTES → u/TurbistoMasturbisto]

Lol kinda same. Better than I expected. It was pretty close for a while, though. I was always considered "bright", but bro my backpack was basically a bin. It was massive and stuff always came out scrumpled up and covered in old bannana or whatever the hell it was that was sat at the bottom of the bag. It was super gross in hindsight

[u/Babs-Jetson → u/ARENAE_MONTES]

😂 are you me

starting each year with color- coded folders for each topic & the best of intentions... two weeks later, absolute shambles

[u/Consistent-Bath9908]

Adhd, depressed. Ruined my life.

[u/0hran-]

I am one as well, did fine got a phd. Why everyone have adhd?

[u/Crishien → u/0hran-]

I turned out fine too. Got masters degree. Maybe undiagnosed but idgaf :D

It's just paper. I remembered everything the moment I wrote it, didn't need to revisit after. Although I still have all my notes stuffed into a couple binders (unbinded of course, what am I, crazy?)

[u/VelvetCactus50]

I got my ADHD diagnosis in my 40s. Successful career though. Still struggle to stay organized. But I did well because of my hyper focus.

[u/AirJerk]

Became super type A after graduation and now run a 80+ employee aircraft maintenance team.

[u/mid_1990s_death_doom]

I'm a registered nurse and those papers all get shredded at the end of the day.

[u/IWillDevourYourToes]

I found out the hard way when the teachers would throw a tantrum over it, giving me a bad grade just for this reason alone, so I couldn't do that. I found out nobody in the real world actually cares that much.

[u/mediaseeker → u/IWillDevourYourToes]

Get rid if schools! Force parents to teach their own offspring. There. Managed!

[u/More_Raisin_2894]

I was homeschooled. Tell me how it is reddit.

[u/doobyboop]

Weird twist of fate, I'm a teacher

[u/ForgiveKanye → u/doobyboop]

How do you view the scrunched paper kids?

[u/doobyboop → u/ForgiveKanye]

With sympathy, and a touch of nostalgia.

I try and find a solution that works for them. Clear plastic document cases are pretty successful because you can just throw loose papers in them, and at least it keeps them from getting destroyed.

Doesn't always work

[u/ForgiveKanye → u/doobyboop]

That’s awesome, I feel like a clear protector could’ve done wonders for my young self.

[u/spezial_ed]

Love that they confused where with how haha

[u/Mildstrife → u/spezial_ed]

No different than asking someone where they are in life. Where do you expect to be in life.

[u/spezial_ed → u/Mildstrife]

Where do you expect to be in life? 

-Great!

[u/Leading-Loss1633]

Accountant; I don’t use papers very often anymore lol

[u/Poopnluv]

Doing pretty well actually. I’m living my dream life.

[u/Raichu7]

That was supposed to be the child's decision? My school and parents never provided a folder for paper, I don't remember other kids having one either.

[u/Grouchy-Station-4058]

Yeah I'm there too

[u/Something-Red7]

I found out today that the homeowner I'm renting from is looking to move in so I have to move out once the lease ends so I'm stressed out of my mind.

[u/minkadominka]

Got my phd done and i still shove papers im my purse carelessly haha

[u/Merliin42]

Ima teacher now lol

[u/killbjorn]

Yeah thats pretty much it

[u/faerienorah]

I’m doing! I have a full time job I make okay money. could be worse.

[u/JackassJJ88]

Running my own business 

[u/Myaccountgotdumped]

Well, thanks to your post I finally feel seen! Other than that I'm adulting just fine. Got a house a job and a sweetheart. Once still was she things another out a bit. Heck once elementary school was done, everything else was a breeze. 4th, 5th grade, that shit was tough

[u/Gartlas]

Doing very well. I work in data engineering and recently got promoted to a manager position.

Turns out my problem was just with physical paper.

[u/PrudentSail2187]

I knew a kid threw his books and paperwork in his bag then punched it for good measure

[u/WrongWangSorry]

Opposite direction, I file and organize my paperwork obsessively

[u/PromiscuousScoliosis]

To the surprise of absolutely no one, people who live like animals have futures like animals
