    Hyperfocus: “Hope is not a plan.” How to manage ADHD at work

    Rae Jacobson has been friends with Katherine Martinelli since they were 6. In the classroom, they were polar opposites: Katherine, a star student; Rae, scrambling and struggling with then-undiagnosed ADHD and dyscalculia.  As they grew older, they both became mothers and professional writers and editors. Rae got diagnosed and found the support and systems that worked for her.  When, well into their 30s, Katherine called to say she'd been diagnosed with ADHD, Rae was shocked: “My queen of competence has ADHD?” On this episode of “Hyperfocus,” Rae digs into what made her and Katherine’s ADHD experiences so vastly different.
