My wife has ADHD and does really well with the jobs she's had. I'd easily call her a 10x engineer in her field. I'm not sure how well you can translate this to an arbitrary job, but one thing that seems to help her is doing classified work. She still gets distracted, but she doesn't get distracted by Reddit and Hacker News, because they're not available on the network she's working on. She gets distracted by old documentation troves, reading more of her own product's code base, studying test cases, actually looking at the logs of all the overnight regression test failures that other developers ignore. Absorb all of that tribal knowledge that usually takes years or even decades to accumulate. (It's also a very old government program she's involved in, so tons of history and context to absorb.) |
