E88: Lightbulb Staring Contest

This week Garet tells us all about what to do at work if you're NOT comfortable asking for a formal reasonable accommodation from your employer. We discuss things like how we cope with difficulty sitting still in meetings, struggling to keep track of projects and deadlines, dealing with distractions in the office, and managing time and organization. Katie and Garet discuss their experiences with test-taking, time management, and workplace challenges related to ADHD. They share tips for focusing on one task at a time, using background noise to stay engaged, and organizing emails and voicemails, as well as using YouTube tutorials to learn skills and brush up on skills that maybe your boss thinks you're supposed to know but literally only one person on YouTube and Bill Gates know how to do. And no matter what, remember that you are doing a great job and you deserve a little treat for getting through another workday with ADHD. It's HARD!   You can check out our brand new merch at bit.ly/anklehighmerch and support us by joining our Patreon for just $5 per month at www.patreon.com/thebarisanklehigh where you'll get access to extended cut ad free audio and video episodes plus bonus episodes, be added to our close friends list on Instagram, and get an on-air shout out and goodies from us in the mail!
