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 just had an interesting thought
My energy is already low in the morning. If I put the most concentration into getting more work during that time, I do somewhat better. My hyperness is already going to rise towards the end of the day anyway. More work in the morning would make up for less in the afternoon. I believe that I already know this, however I don't bring it to mind that often and I need to. I can setit up as a alarm on the phone and whatnot, as I learned today from the Brendon Burchard video. I'll put them into Any.do, to put it to more use and not clutter up my calendar.

Busy mind today
Boy, my mind has been everywhere but where's supposed to be. First that 'Human Centipede' movie, then placing my orders at eBay, Amazon and Uline. Then to writing my stocking pattern. I hardly budged on this program I am supposed to be finishing. Sigh.

Why does this happen?
(sigh ) Why does this happen so frequently? I again lost track of what direction I should be going. I didn't store all of my information in Win-Organizer as I should have. However, I had notes in the program so I should have I stopped to rename fields so that I could keep track of everything and then did not go back to where I was. I did not make notes for that. Looking at the note I had, I wasted a day looking in a direction that I should have gone. I could have been done much sooner.

Why, why, why?!
All it takes is my looking for one thing on eBay--earring backs because I keep losing them--and the next thing I know, I have spent an hour there looking at stuff. That in itself is not all that bad at home, however here at work, that is not good at all. My only saving grace today is that I got here at 6:30 instead of 8:00 and will be here after 4:30. However, it should not have happened in the first place. At this rate, I'm going to have to leave my phone and tablet in the car, or have the data package turned off. That would mean that I would only be able to use my phone via wi-fi., which could be a good thing or a bad thing if I need to look up some data in the cloud.
