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.

A pretty good week, almost
When I opened this up some time ago, I was going to say that had done pretty good this week, concentrating a lot this week on assignments. Then, I spent maybe an hour, reading about the children of Thalidomide. FocusMe came on for the afternoon right as I was finishing up the article that I originally started with, which meant that I had 30 seconds to close the window or it would be closed for me.

Determine why it's happening
Since my leg bouncing gets worse when I stressed in some way, I should start paying attention to when's it's happening and why.
I did good
I was pretty busy this weekend. I finally got started cleaning out my workroom, moving stuff out and stacking them in the space formally known as the dining room.I moved the stuff that was there -- storage bins, also from my workroom -- over by the patio door. I got half of the clothes washed, and put up clothes that were still out from the last time that I washed. I also got the tub cleaned out.
For me, that's not too bad.

Not too bad
I didn't do all that bad today. Most of the day went towards working on something work-related. I even got in a bit of side-project coding, so that I don't lose what little gains I am managing to acquire.

Why do I do these things?
The end of our yearly review period is in four days. I still have two Expected items to complete and a couple Exceptional items that I would like to take a shot at. I have spent a good chunk of the morning cleaning out my inbox, something that could have probably waited until next week. I only got to one group of mail, Lifehacker, however that (of course) started a chain of events that should have been broken quite some time back.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Paperwork
I have dragged on this project, getting paperwork together for my Recall updates, all morning. I even put off working on it last night.
We postponed the meeting until tomorrow morning. I'm just coming close to finishing it. It probably would not have taken so longs if I did not doze off constantly, from my meds. And if I didn't keep losing interest and do other stuff.

Bouncing
I am bouncing from item to item today. I'm sure it didn't help that I didn't take my Strattera until I got here, because I had not set it aside last night.
