You don't get an A+ for following job success tips.

(they didn't have ADHDers in mind)

Here's the thing right:

These tips work brilliantly.

If you process urgency, time, and motivation the way the tips expect.

Following work success advice with ADHD be like:

Tip: Dress for the job you want.
ADHDer: Judging from my outfit, I want to be:
Director of Mismatched Socks & Every Color.

Tip: Eat the frog first thing in the morning.
ADHDer: I've been staring at that frog for 3 hours.
He's part of the family now.

Tip: Time block your calendar.
ADHDer: I did.
And time-traveled past every single block.

Tip: Take regular breaks to recharge.
ADHDer: Took a break.
Reorganized the supplies cupboard.

Tip: Morning routines set you up for success.
ADHDer: Mine is finding phone, keys, and the will to move.
In that order.

Tip: Use a planner to stay organized.
ADHDer: I have 6 planners.
None of them know about each other.

Tip: Single-task for better productivity.
ADHDer: I'm writing an email, planning a project
... and solving world hunger in my head.

Tip: Set boundaries with your time.
ADHDer: Time is a social construct I don't understand.

Tip: Reply to emails within 24 hours.
ADHDer: I saw it. I'll respond.
But first, existential dread about what to say.

No amount of "just try harder" changes ADHD wiring.

Typical job advice is the wrong size.
