I got my ADD diagnosis today (no "h" as I don't meet the criteria for hyperactivity). It felt validating to hear a doctor say what I've felt for a while now.

I'm 44. I've worked remote for a number of years and I think that's helped me cope as I was able to break my work time up with "life" stuff when I had trouble focusing on work things. However, I've struggled with personal projects where I will have times that I can sit and make a ton of progress and then other times where I will stare at a computer screen or the mechanical keyboard I want to build and my brain will simple refuse to allow me to get started. I've found Inflow to be informative and I've been working with one of their coaches on implementing different tools to help with focus during work meetings, etc...
