excellent description of executive functioning predicaments
... in a thread at Ask a Manager about ADHD.
I wouldn't recommend the whole comments section this time, because there was too much "well _I_ manage" and missing the point, but I thought this comment from "Han about town" laid out the essence of it really well. Here's a snippet on the challenge of consistently filling out timesheets:
"Monetary penalties or privileges have zero effect on the behaviour, because the behaviour is not moderated by risk, reward, or consequences. It’s moderated by how well I’m able to perform a very rote, boring, *consistent* task on a repeated basis, which is very poorly."
