My hypothesis sis that with the fewer decisions I have, I'll have more energy so I'm not constantly negotiating with myself.

Turns out "decision fatigue" is a real thing. I wasn't imagining it. I'm now working on minimizing as many decision points as I can. I'm looking to reduce as many unnecessary decisions, or automate even. Hopefully this will free up some space for the more important decisions.

I'm talking tiny decisions: what to eat, when to start, which of my three quick tasks to do first, should I do it now or later. By the time I get to the important stuff, my brain is already exhausted.

I'm realizing that its not that I lack motivation. My brain has been working harder than other people's brains. The simplest tasks or choices turn into this big decision point in my head that has me debating my brain over and over. If you think arguing with someone is hard, try arguing with yourself

Yes! I just started my medication last week, and the difference is like night and day.

When I met my now wife, I started noticing 11:11 more frequently and took it as a sign that she was the one. Hasn't been wrong so far.

There are many lawyers with ADHD. My guess is this lawyer meant they’re not good with organization and prioritization that makes sense to the neurotypical lawyer. Succesful lawyers have built the right supports to help with these. And the urgency/crises are wonderful motivators and where we shine.

That’s a good approach. I’ve been researching the neurochemistry of ADHD brains and testing frameworks that will actually work for our brains well before my official diagnosis. I’m finding that I’d already unknowingly been using some of these frameworks. Curious to see where this takes me.

I was officially diagnosed yesterday as well! I've suspected it for a couple of years now, but the process to get diagnosed seemed so daunting.
I'm really curious to see what medication does. Good luck on your journey!
