keep notes and update them electronically
make sure you get enough sleep - this can be a big factor believe it or not.
dont rush to work . leave earlier if you have too arrive with mind focussed on work not navigating through stressful taffic to beat the clock.
take the time to memorize all the company policies. this will we help minimize errors. or at least cover your Ar$$ by pointing to the policies may somewhat flawed and now that the discrepency has been pointed out youll do it the new way- this guards agianst supervisor interpretation.
if youre on meds make sure youre keeping them adjusted .
whats the point of being on meds if they also interfere with work perfomance.

i alway work two jobs .
full time with benefits FOR DA MONEY part time so if i get fired its not a catastrophe i tend to have alot energy so utilizing it for $$$ help keep me focused break daydreaming habits in the workplace-- were all human - everyone does it but it real distraction when working on a team. so if you have create an alone time after work where you focus on worries - 10 to just think and dwell about what freaks you out and 10 minutes make a list of what to do about them. holding youre worries of till after work keeps you focussed on work. and youre at ease during work hours knowing that you will address youre home worries lateri never tell a boss im adhd but thats just me.--------
i like to play scrabble
when im playing a competitve player i must be aware of my negative thoughts or self-talk.
if in my mind im thinking " oh man this guys really good"
"crap crap crap"
im never going to beat her"
she making that play so easy"
those thoughts take up time!!!!!!
if i were relaxed focusing on my own strategy techniques then by the end of the game i have created 1000 more thoughts about words than thought about
negative worring thoughts. its why the"PSYCH OUT" is so effective.
if i can get an opponet worried about how good i am then they worry and i dont.
so "psych yourself up" .
also having adhd and coming from a weak education.
i dont grasp what i read . i have to re read things .
im not a person that glance through a memo and "get it"
i take memos and policies home . scan them . and put them in playlists.as a slide show.
kinda dopy i know - but it works or me cause i know the rules and policies so well my mind is focussed on work tasks and not on worring thought about the boss staring at me from behind.

i look at this way i have a learning disability not a learning incapabilty.
i can learn just as much as a NTer (normal thinker) actually i can learn it ALL.
i just takes time but once its in my mind its power. knowlege is power.
----
its easy for me to skip details and learn from others by doing what they do - budding up with somene and having them show me the ropes of a job or station.
thats when i need to go back and review company policy and memos .
learn the ropes and the basics first . then compete with the best in a freindly game of mutual respect. making other people look good invites people to cover youre back.

i lost focus &gotogo& .
take care
i re read youre orig post.
in olden days we had to take typing class in high school .
explaned to us that typists make mistakes.
most people can type 80 words per minute but
if mistakes were made then its acually 50 words per minute correcting the errors.
in a company errors trickle into different departments causing man hours to accumulate $$$.
so its an NTer issue youre dealing with.
------like
who care if im five minutes late if i stay five minutes later.
well an NTer world says no youre late once twice three times and youre out.
the dont see the "best" that youre doing is generating more product.
just that youre errors are making thier error statistics rise.
------
i have a voice recorder and a note pad. when i go home i put them in the growing slide show.
i wish i could keep all those notes in my head but my thoughts evaporate like a head ache after asprin. i cant even recal being told to do something .
i remember seeing them tell me but i dont remeber what they said.
so i habitually ask the "what " , "can you say that again". or i drop something on purpose ang thing to them to repeat themselves.
--------
i have this new idea about brain function ive heard and trying to understad.
as children were bombarded with learing.
colors ,shapes, foods, people,self
letters, words, numbers, school, groups
play, games ,reading , rules, hygiene.
work ,responsibility ,duty ,family, obligations
commitment,honor , pride.
--- im hearing that when we get to 60-70 there isnt many new things to learn and we dont need to learn new things to survive.
heres the new idea - allowing ourselve to stop learning is like not using our muscles. we deterioate. causing plaques to build up at a faster rate.
ok lets go back to 30 years of age.
decide to practice learning many things.
music, painting, poetry.
long termfriendships , new computer games and programs.
----
ok if you read all that and youre still with me.
in think were designed to to continue learning like children even as adults.
theres even biblical ideation of going to heaven and becoming like a child agian. i think thers something to it.
im not a knowlegable reverend please pardon me.
what im saying is continuing to learn is very healthy.
just surviving isnt thriving!!
