What are good career choices that mesh with symptoms of ADD?
I've tried almost every job imaginable with limited success or longevity. 6 months seems to be the limit before I have to beat my employer to the punch and quit, often suddenly which burns bridges for future employment in the same field. I'm in the process of being diagnosed, but have tested in the 99th percentile, which was a relief. Finally an explanation for all my failures and inability to reach my potential. I'm currently self-employed as a action/event photographer which is great when i'm on-location and into the gig. The problem comes when i'm back at the home office and have a thousand things to do but stray away and pop in a movie, or surf the net, anything but the difficult task of seeing things through. Can't wait to try some meds and see what happens,. but any direction in the meantime will be appreciated. Thanks! |

Not able to attack the stuff in front of You?
I am also very ADD and will stray away from the task if I don't get into it. I am not sure if you have the finanaces ; but I pay my 15 year old to take care of the hated paper work. It usually takes her about a hour to take care of it all. I put everything on the computer my bills etc so it is easier for me to become engaged. I don't know what job you are educated to do so it may not be great advice to say work in a job thrat switches up. such as an emergency rooom or police work. If you like the creative edge what you are doing is the route for you; and the time to put paers etc away is the problem. I find music always get me moving and I will put it on to do anything. I also set a timer so I have a contest with myself to see how much I can get done. If it is too far ahead of you it maybe the right choice and pay someone to straighten it out for you one time and then keep it that way so when it comes in do it, then go to the computer and throw a video in. |
