Fortunately, medications can improve focus and reduce restlessness. And behavioral changes can help people with ADHD turn work tribulations into triumphs.
Here are 9 common problems of working with ADHD and how to solve them.
Problem #1: Desk/office clutter
ADHD leads to a lack of focus and concentration – so it may be no surprise to discover your desk covered with piles of papers, coffee mugs and Post-its.
"The more disorganized the office, the more cluttered the mind," says Anandhi Narasimhan, M.D., an adult, adolescent and child psychiatrist in private practice in Los Angeles.
Working with ADHD: Stop those piles before they start. As you finish a task, put all the materials away in a basket or file marked with the project name.
"To be successful, you have to know where things are," says Dana Snyder, a professional organizer and founder of Snyder Consulting in Santa Cruz, Calif.
If you're in a rush and have to go out, set a timer for 20 minutes before you have to leave, she advises.
That gives you time to put everything back in its place.
Then promise yourself a reward, like a latte, when you complete the task.
"Each time you follow through, you're building a stronger organizing 'muscle,'" Wiggins says.
