“Many people with ADHD find it easier to stay focused on housework, homework, bill paying, and other tasks when someone else is around to keep them company.”
Not true for me!
If anything the reverse is true!
With my ADHD I also get a form of rejection sensitivity dysphoria, so worry I’m being judged or watched.
Not with everything. Just somethings, and mostly my desk based work.
I like silent rooms away from people.
Any distractions at all with detail me for possibly hours!
Same here, in fact I'm rather surprised to learn that this isn't the norm for people with ADHD, apparently.
On a related note, my office is currently doing a sort of ad-hoc, informal hybrid work schedule, so some days of the week there's very few people in the office. On those days, I find I'm so much more productive just due to the fact that there's less commotion and fewer people talking. WFH was great for my productivity as well, of course. Anyone else notice the same?
In many ways the pandemic was the best thing that happened for me!
I got to work from home, and then transitioned to running my own consultancy from my home office!
I’m fortunate and have a nice home and work well with my wife.
At an office I used to find an empty meeting room and work on my own, and this was seen as anti social…
And I was like, so which is it?
Shut up and do you work, or chit chat in the office?
Apparently it all depends and the unspoken unwritten rules of social conduct in offices prove that companies are not families and culture is about who the majority like and nothing to do with do embracing diversity.
