Are there any ADHD programmers out there? I'm hoping to talk to a few, trade tips on how to manage a work day. I've noticed that the usual time management structures don't work. One, we often have to keep emails open so that we immediately know about apps being down, so there goes only checking a couple of times a day. I've also tried scheduling when in a day I would work on a project, but that doesn't do too well either; see #1 as to why. And so on. Any tips would be appreciated.

New Plans
Yesterday, I got myself set up to engage in my new work/study plan. I installed software to lock my PC for a certain period in the evening, so that I won't do too many things that I don't need to be doing instead of working or studying. We'll see how it works. Hopefully, it won't be too easy for me to go around it like I usually do.

Today
Not too bad today. Trying to follow my Pomodoro breaks. Getting the list of little things I wanted to do -- moving notes to one location, renaming some music tracks that I listen to, downloading tech manuals and books, printing goLearn course screens -- at a slow, but steady pace. It's better than my trying to concentrate on any one of them throughout the day, which means that I spend a lot of my time doing just that. I also wind up checking my email and updating my ManicTime tasks much more now.
Yesterday
We finished up our goals for this next year. I've got a pretty loaded docket. It's not bad, though. I have a lot of courses set up, and both of my pet projects are on it. I like that a lot.

It never fails
I had planned to get to work on finishing my goals immediately when I got here, however other things got in the way again. I wound up making some changes in my office that didn't need to be done at that time.

I've been bad today
When I got in today, I had planned on looking up the info that I needed to finish up my goals rating for last year. Actually, I had wanted to do that last night, but of course I didn't (I really, really need to write app to lock out my PC during certain times). I have yet to do that.
