The post from buttercup about doing horrible at your job really got me to thinking....
Since my son was dx ADHD and I started doing a lot of research, I have realized that I probably am to. I haven't done anything about it though, because I figure I'm just fine as I am and I don't want to go to a doctor and ask for meds. Stupid, I know.
However, here lately, I have been the most horrible procrastinator. I don't know what it is all of a sudden. I am the supervisor in my department, and I have found myself more and more "delegating authority". The girls under me are by no means overworked, but some of it is stuff that I really should be doing personally. I mean, if you are the Payroll Department Supervisor and never look at a payroll unless there is a problem, then that's a problem itself, right? I mean when the boss calls and asks me in which department is a facility racking up the overtime, I really should know without having to pull the payrolls and look it up.
Also, I've been slacking off on paying my bills on time, which is a big no-no for me. I am the biggest tightwad you have ever met. My finances are extremely organized. It's not that the money is not there, I just don't feel like paying bills today, or the next day, or the next day.
I even bought myself a day-runner to try to keep myself more organized. I write everything down, both personal and work stuff. But I just don't open it, or if I do, I think "Oh, I'll do that tomorrow."
Procrastination is really my only problem. If I have a deadline, I have no problem getting the job done. Once I actually set down to do something that is due like, yesterday, I can focus on it until the job is done, no matter the distractions. S
o have any of you noticed that meds seem to help you get up the gumption to get things done? Does it help to keep you from procrastinating?
