Struggling with ADHD at Work

If you're going to do something consistently you have to be motivated. If housing isn't the motivator, that's ok! But you can certainly find something that makes you want to keep going every day. For me, it's that I never want to have to ask my parents to help me financially ever again. I know they would, but they would make me feel guilty and lecture me and I absolutely DO NOT want that anymore. So I've worked consistently and saved money the best I could to make sure I didn't need them. It might not be the healthiest 🤷🏻‍♀️ but it motivated me when I was really struggling. So think about what working can give you. Shelter, food, clothing, safety are all basics but if that's not motivating you then look elsewhere. Is there a person relying on you? Is there a person that you just want to spite with your sucess? Do you have a pet or a houseplant that you need to care for? Do you have a hobby that brings you joy? Is there a big purchase you've wanted to save for? Hell, the motivator could even be "I want a routine" or "I want to feel content". Sticking with a change can be very difficult, but knowing WHY we are doing something helps us stay focused on it. I believe in you 💜

I made work fun by giving myself little rewards for doing tasks. I quite literally just trained my brain to associate working/unpleasant tasks with treats 😂
