Hi everyone!
Shweta Shrivastava
Hi everyone! I found out a few months back that I have ADHD. I have several years of experience as a Software Engineer, but I took a 7-year break from work when my kids were young due to the overwhelm of managing everything. I went back to work a year and a half back, and although I did well, I did struggle with executive functioning issues mainly in two areas - one with keeping my tasks/projects organized without feeling overwhelmed, and second with losing my chain of thought during meetings, which always made putting my point across harder. I am starting a new job on Monday which I am really excited about, and am wondering if folks here have any tips that would help me keep my tasks (and my thoughts!) organized! Any general tips that have helped you stay organized with ADHD and feel less overwhelmed are also welcome. Thank you!
