    I show up, hyperfocus, do an incredible job, get a raise, then lose the entirety of my reputation by not doing anything.

    Now I’m teaching, and it’s hitting my mom friend override a little- I don’t do the work because I have to, but because the students deserve to learn. But it’s also new, so that might change

      I’m doing long term training on specialist engineering stuff … to be honest, getting to teach the same stuff to different people really helps keep things fresh (at least for me)

        That’s reassuring :)

        My sister has much more severe ADHD, but also way better coping skills than I do (our AUDHD mom was a special education teacher who instilled really helpful habits in her, but died before I was old enough to do the same with), and she’s a great teacher, so I hope it’ll work like that for me as well.

        Actually, basically everyone in my family is a teacher, lol. Maybe that is the answer.
