Years ago when I was a cashier to stay focused & challenge myself (I have ADD) I wouldn’t use the order separators. It made a lot of customers so mad. I’d hidden the dividers on my lane. They said I’d mix their orders; I didn’t though. Ironically though if a customer got ahold of a separator & slipped it on the belt I’d for real unintentionally start scanning the next customer’s order with theirs happened every time without fail. Weird I know but that’s just how my brain works.
#1
I cannot focus unless there is a mess in my workspace. 2-3 textbooks and maybe half a dozen papers all on different subjects with maybe a craft or two in the corner. On my laptop, I have my drawing software and maybe around 40 different tabs open at a time and I need all of them. I don’t know why but that’s how I work.
#2
(School not work but similar concept) I have to draw…but I can’t just draw anything I have to draw horror. If I’m in math class I cant focus unless I’m drawing a crazed clown, or voodoo teddy bear. I have no friends at school
#3
chew sunflower seeds instead of tobacco or nicotine pouches. that stuffs groty
#4
Tilt your head to the right when writing something by hand, or tilt to the left if you’re a lefty.
#5
i wouldn’t say everyone thinks I’m crazy for it, but i chew gum so i don’t get fidgety
#6
i have to be able to draw on something or I’ll go insane while I’m waiting for something. all of my coworkers look at me like I’m insane cuz once I drew a bunch of dots on my hand
#7
Chewing gum (quietly!) helps to focus. Listening to music when you are doing someone that doesn’t take a lot of focus helps you stay on track and not be bored
#8
i am nervous if my desk isnt buried – untidy desk got nothing on me.
#9
Talk to myself. Keeps me focused, people think I’m crazy.
