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.

I know that why I do this, I just wish that I didn't do it
I got wrapped up in creating, and then updating, a load list from my old SplashID data. When I moved everything over from my old phone to my new one, that data file did not move over. I've been trying to get Splash to dump the contents for over a year, so that I can load them into another app. Now, with less than two weeks left before I had to send the old one off, it was either get it downloaded or type each into the other app one by one. This became a big deal today because I needed to look up a password, and that triggered the events that eventually had me editing a list that was created last year that was sitting on my old phone. Once I got started, I of course found it very difficult to pull away. I really hate that I obsess over things. Most of my morning has been spent working on something non-work related.
