ADHD Home Office Problems
Scottw | Jul 19 2007
Okay, I as much as any of you, want to get things done. I realize that my struggle with ADHD (even if medicated) will exist anywhere I "work". I am self-employed, and I know I could get about 1000 things more done per day, if I could just focus. For almost the last year, I have worked at home, and been doing okay with it, but for the past few months, I have been getting stir crazy, wanting to go drive and do things, almost as if I wasn't on any meds at all. I can't up my dose of meds, due to blood pressure concerns. Sometimes I think of getting an office somewhere, but wonder if that would be helpful or not, as I'd still be working by myself. I also know that working with other people can be distracting as well. The weather isn't nice enough around here to go outside and work or vary my working location. I have thought about going to a local library with WIFI access and work there when I was having focus issues, but quite honestly, that is not very comforting to me, I hate libraries. I did have an office once that was a shared/open office environment. Other people worked in the area, but all had their own business doing whatever they did. I didn't get to try this out much, as I was working full-time somewhere else. But that place is full, no spaces available. I don't know... THOUGHTS, suggestions, ideas? 5 Comments

 Great idea. I do think,...Submitted by Scottw on July 19, 2007 - 2:20pm.
Great idea. I do think, however, a college campus would be a little distracting for this 32 year old. ;) I think they call it scenery. But, I love the feedback, keep it coming. I know a guy that has a design business, and bought a building last year. He asked me if I wanted to rent space in it, but at the time, i was not doing my own thing, and it was a little further away. But, I know he has ton of room, even in his "section" of the building that he has for his own business, vs the extra space for other tenants... I might think about asking him if I could office in his "open" environment studio. There would be other people, potential for interaction, and might be helpful. Hmmmm.... » POSTED IN:
