Can anyone identify with this?

1) Poor organising and planning ability


2)Difficulty prioritising steps taken in multi step tasks

3) Ability to focus can go from very good to not at all good

  • Yes, very much so. I have learned to compensate for issues 1 and 2 using lists, spreadsheets and reminders.

    Issue 3 is still a massive problem for me. At work I am completely unproductive for 30+ hours per week then heroically focussed for a few hours. This seems to be enough to keep my employers happy but it is very stressful.

  • I can relate a lot to that!

    Problem I have when I try using  lists ,  I literally neglect/forget about the list or notes after a day or so,  every time I try.

    Really can be groundhog day for me sometimes, like I get reset at night and wake up with all the issues I'd fixed the day before!
