Focusing at Work I have recently been diagnosed with adult ADD. I am now on Adderall and have much more energy than before plus I'm not missing as much of the details in my reports for work as I did before. I said not as much but still some. I'm in a position that requires a lot of details in my reports. The thing is when my boss points them out, I do see them. With that in mind do I need a coach or a supplement or? Quote

With that in mind do I need a coach or a supplement or?

Review reports next AM One thing I find helpful in reports is to come back and review them the following morning. This is when I'm at my peak of alertness and least distracted. This also applies to email messages. Quote
