A search of "ADHD" in this sub (before posting) produces the OUTSTANDING thread started by /u/sobrique some time ago. It's quite a long thread and this redditor seemed to be in every single comment chain with their personal insights and understanding of the condition at the time having been recently (when it was posted) diagnosed.

I was (self and professionally) diagnosed at 50, now 55. It's been an interesting journey to discover coping mechanisms I had developed by accident over a (then) 25 year career in enterprise IT that helped me get the job done. (I didn't start medicating consistently until Vyvanse lost patent protection last year.)

What I'm finding though, as I age, still in heads-down / in-the-trenches enterprise IT, that my condition is getting worse, slightly. I may have outgrown the coping mechanisms I've tried to stick to, but I'm sure I'm ignorant of other strategies that work.

Hence the question: What tools / utilities / practices / behaviors have you integrated into your daily grind that aid in your ability to stay on task, remember track critical or important deliverables, and maintain the personal confidence you need to know that you're still effective at your job?

I'm mostly interested in changes you've made that help you. I'd recommend anyone suspicious that they have the condition to check out the archived thread by /u/sobrique. There's a lot of good info in there for the curious.

Enormously grateful for your responses, in advance.

PS: it's been a year (more?) /u/sobrique. Any reflections?
