Ask HN: Developers with ADHD/ADD, how do you cope?
45 by raptorraver | 51 comments on Hacker News.
I'm a junior developer and in a process to get ADD-diagnosis. I find it very hard to stay focused at work, especially if the task in hand isn't something I'm passionate about. Even bigger problem I'm facing is that it's almost impossible to stay aware on what we are discussing in the meetings. My mind just constantly wanders away from the subject and this leads to embarassing moments and me missing crucial knowledge about the project. I'm looking for practical tips and personal experiences on how you manage to stay productive and focused during work day. Thanks in advance!
