Navigating ADHD in the Workplace
ADHD presents unique challenges in the workplace, particularly regarding tasks like time management and administrative duties. Many individuals with ADHD struggle to complete seemingly simple tasks, such as submitting expense reports or filling out timesheets, leading to feelings of embarrassment and shame. This difficulty often stems from the need for ongoing motivation and the tendency to become easily distracted once the initial excitement of a new job fades. Recognizing these challenges is crucial as it allows individuals to better understand their experiences and develop coping strategies.
