    productivity tips for neurodivergent people

    productivity tips for neurodivergent people

    how do you handle time management and productivity when you're neurodivergent? growing up when we didn't know about our OCD or ADHD, we would try EVERYTHING to try and be productive during school and work without any success. and on top of that, we grew up in immigrant households that also played a huge part on how we viewed work. now that we're older, we have some tips to be our most productive selves and you will really see how we function SO differently from another and that's ok. hope u enjoy this one and happy finals season!!
