I didn’t want to talk about medication because I know a lot of people with ADHD aren’t (or don’t want to be) medicated. But, I fully agree, my whole life changed since I’m on Ritalin

Thanks for your comment ! I have the chance to be able to choose when I’m going at the office or not, it’s a great chance and even if it’s planned to go to the office and it’s one of these down days, I can choose not to go and work from home at my rhythm. Regarding to what to watch/listen to to be in the "zone", I really think it’s personal. Personally, if there’s some moving images, I’m unable to focus, but with some music (especially repeating electronic music), I can be in my own bubble for hours

It looks like we face plenty of common things. I have the same feeling as you regarding my daughter, too. On one hand, it freaks me out, but, as you said, on the other hand, I will be able to help her.

If you find some tool to interact with the phone vocally as a main entry point, I would be genuinely interested. :)

Sure, I'm using Agile Task Note (https://github.com/BoxThatBeat/obsidian-agile-task-notes) for the Jira sync and for Google Calendar, I'm using obsidian-google-lookup (https://github.com/ntawileh/obsidian-google-lookup) and obsidian-google-calendar (https://github.com/YukiGasai/obsidian-google-calendar)

> This is great! So many people in the ADHD community don't dig in enough into the 'superpower' side of it, so I'm super glad you covered that here. We can't get rid of the bad parts so I think it's extra important to lean into the good parts too.

Thanks for your comment, that's what I wanted to express. We can't run away from the bad parts, so let's try to deal with it and find some stuff to help us.

Nutrition is very important indeed, but it has always been a problem for me. I wanted to focus on things I tried and worked on me. Of course, it's not perfect, but at least the points I listed made the things better for me. Everybody's different, so it's not a silver bullet, just my personal journey.

You're right, but unfortunately, when your company uses it and teams are distributed, you don't have the choice, and you have to find some tricks to accommodate.
