Hey all! I’m a software developer that was diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago.
My productivity went to complete shit during Covid and hasn’t recovered. Part of the issue is that I’ve learned body doubling is one of the most effective ways for me to get stuff done. And, unfortunately for me, no one has wanted to come back into the office. I’ve tried setting reminders for myself to get routine-but-not-daily tasks done, but those only worked for a couple weeks. Pomodoro timers the same.
Anyone have any tips for being more productive at work? Ideally oriented toward software development, but I’ll take anything.
It is not that of a magic trick, but on my router, I’ve created a blacklist of websites that I can’t access between 8:30 and 17:00. That list is huge and basically contains everything from news media, Fediverse/Reddit, YouTube, Gaming websites, etc. Helps a bit.
