Adapting more to my own working style
Adapting more to my own working style
The thing about neurodivergent people or at least AuDHD is that we can't work at a steady pace. I can't work like a normal person. I can do 20 hours work in 3 hours (or at least getting there with experience) but I can't work for 20 hours consistently to get that 20 hours of work done. This is one of the great things about my employer although it took some time for me to see this and understand this.
The trust at where I work is amazing. One of our values is "get shit done". (This always makes the good little girl inside of me flinch). No-one cares if you spent 4 hours on something or 46 hours on it. (I'm exaggerating...). The main thing is to "get shit done." I struggled so much to adapt to this role.
I wish that I had understood this before, and sooner. I guess that the main thing is that I have got to this now. I am writing this right now before I read some code.
And I feel guilty. But the right thing to do is to understand that my brain can't take any new info in until I write out some more about my ways of working. Because I have had so much feedback on it this week. So the main thing is to adapt to that now - get done what I need to do
And move on to the code with full force - which I can do so brilliantly... if I work with my brilliant self.
