Such a good video! Can't believe it has only 312 views. Thank you for the value. I wonder how to productize my tennis coaching services. I already have some PDF knowledge products selling on gumroad, but I want to find something I can productize with a monthly fee and I can manage with a trello board, like designjoy. Do you have an idea?
I don't know why we can't just say it's safe to assume frames are the most legitimate option in 80% of instances. It used to drive me nuts in InDesign when I'd open a file and there was a text box sitting on top of a colored rectangle, when literally all of it could be controlled by object styles. InDesign is the OG, my ride or die for layouts. So I find it funny when Figma users don't go that far back in the game to know it's all the same ol tricks.
I move my workspace around too. I have two computers and a laptop. I have an office but sometimes I just can’t go in there because it just feels like it’s going to be boring or something. Like I literally can’t get started there sometimes so I have to work from my bedroom or the kitchen.
I have the same feeling about changing my desk/setup from time to time. I guess it helps to inspire and motivates me. Going to coffee shops when I don’t have meetings is another tactic that I use (the background noise doesn’t bother me.. it’s like a background music)
I work in special projects as a creative and I love it, but our team is growing and I am so nervous because of my social struggles and lack of organization skills as well as RSD 😔 any tips for a female in the workplace worried about feeling left out or left behind due to my disability and struggles that come with it?
In the land of Agile, a tale unfolds, Of Scrum Bum, whose antics never grow old. A stinky fellow, with nary a care, He'd pick his nose, in the open air. With a backlog stack and sprints to run, He’d dive right in, thinking it fun, To pick and roll, his game of choice, Ignoring the team's collective voice. Kanban, with belches, and flatulence too, Would shake his head at the view, But in the spirit of the agile creed, He'd focus on flow, and on speed. Despite his quirks, Scrum Bum did shine, Moving tasks with a rhythm divine. Stories completed, and goals met, His odd habits, the team would abet. Kanban’s board, a sight so clean, Except when gas would intervene. Yet work moved on, with steady pace, Each card moved forward, it was no race. They both had their ways, odd though it seemed, Productivity and results, of which they dreamed. Pick and roll, belch and breeze, In Agile land, they did as they please. The team adapted, to each strange habit, Finding humor, where others would snabit. For in the end, the work's what mattered, Not the noises, nor the noses tattered. So let us take, from this strange pair, A lesson in tolerance, and in care. For it's the outcomes, not the quirks that count, In Agile's realm, that's the paramount.
Thanks for the tutorial. What if I want a range slider that has a knob that can stop at any point of the range? Would you just make more "stops" or is there some other way to do it?
UX/UI, motion, interactive, packaging, publishing, branding, web design are all different but the foundation is still in Graphic Design. The more of those you can add to you're toolbelt as a designer the more well rounded youll be
I just found your video. It is so nice to meet you! I really liked how you are so down to earth and open about your life. I can relate, I remember years ago deciding to get a diagnosis for a job training opportunity through a program that helps individuals with disabilities. I was diagnosed by 2 different psychologists. Both came out with the same diagnosis, one using traditional old school testing and the other using modern testing technology. I was honestly so glad and relieved to finally know what my struggles were from. I eventually adopted ADHD as part of my identity which brought peace into my life. I also realized that my right/left brain were not getting along very well. My left brain was complaining that I was too lazy and my right brain was complaining that I was too uptight; well, something like that. But over the years the 2 sides of my brain (left and right) are working better together; no more complaining, seriously, our right brain should say: what can I do to help you today? Same for the left side. <smile>.. You should see all the provisions I have and do to keep going. It's like I have a set of luggage going to work. I recently ordered a pull cart for all my stuff. lol. it does sound funny but I have to have everything I need. And, believe it or not, I can be insanely organized at work and totally comfortably unorganized at home. Why, it's really because at home, all I think of is unwinding. I use a lot of energy at work. So on the way home words to me, home, relax rest. That kills all my energy. I can be at 80% energy at work and by the time I'm walking in the door, I am down to 20%. so it's really a matter of discission. For me, rest is important, I am very prone to sinus infections from sinus allergies, I have a bunch of sinus gadgets that help me to stay well, humidifier, HEPA filters, sinus rinse and good diet etc. but rest is essential. so it's like choosing a battle. which place needs me to be organized the most? I can't rest at work like I can at home. I work as an office assistant and I love my job! Maybe that's why I have so much energy at work. but there are good and not so good days. Some days I feel like a shining star and some days I'm not sure If I will have a job the next day. So this is so relatable to what you were talking about. I never openly told my boss about my ADHD and I had wondered if I should tell her, especially when things aren't going well, but then again, she probably suspects it. The thing about revealing ADHD is that you can't shake the feeling that they might think that you're incompetent, I think it goes deep within yourself. You're always wondering what anyone would think of you unless they know you well enough. I remember year ago I was volunteering with a group of people and I felt so proud of myself of how far I had come with ADHD. It was a volunteer group of people with disabilities. I proudly announced that I had ADHD and from that day for weeks, It felt like people didn't trust that I knew what I was doing. I mean really, I guess the stigma is real. Can you really know for sure if it's you or someone who might have some issues of their own. I thought I was going to write paragraph, but now it looks like a blog. lol. It's important to share. This would be my first blog on ADHD. I usually don't have the motivation to write a blog. Interestingly enough I admire people are motivated, organized, have fortitude and determination like my boss, I really admire her.
at 24.57 my guess is that you need stimulation and ADHD is particularly challenged when you're bored. So that's why you move your desk. I don't do that. I just have fresh flowers within eyesight. Just a glance gives me a pop of dopamine.
i had this after the age of 14 and thought i was being lazy but it got worse and worse, I did badly in college and it was sad because i was a straight A or B student in 8 th grade and before and suddenly i was the dumb kid. But i can even afford a doctor in india as there isnt much awareness here and they charge a lot.
I used to work as a project manager, like you, about 12 years ago. Things were going well, but then I started my own venture and took a sabbatical year to enjoy life a bit for 1 year. When I returned, I started working from home, and let me tell you, it was a nightmare. I didn't have anyone around me, no super boss, and no team. Unfortunately, it wasn't until about 9 months ago, that I was diagnosed with ADHD. So for the past 11 years, I've been trying to create internet projects, but I always end up stopping when they're about 50% done because I get bored. I was totally burned out from working with clients as well. My self-esteem took a major hit, and I just couldn't say NO to things. And some people totally took advantage of me. I've heard it's common for people like us. Now that I know I have ADHD, I want to plan my life better. I'm exploring the idea of going back to a career where I can manage a team again. For me, it felt like vacation doing that kind of work. I would have done it for free because I loved coming up with ideas and having a team to do the actual work. In fact, I have a friend who's an IT consultant and also has ADHD, so that would be a perfect fit, except he deals a lot with clients. I'm really bad at explaining things right now, you know? My mind is racing a mile a minute, and it's like impossible to put things into words, you know what I mean? I've also tried building my own team with freelancers to work on my internet websites, but I struggle a lot with setting goals. And I just can't seem to see the money part of it... It's really strange. It's like I'm a child playing with toys. But the funny thing is, when I talk to other people, they call me the SEO god and Internet guru. I've got an answer for everything. So why can't I do it for my own projects? It's so frustrating! 😞
I am also a PM with ADHD. Your note that ADHD really helps with this job is spot on - it is actually my strength - the ideas, the creativity, the ability to switch context, the humor, reading the room, instant empathy - all are a function of how I rapidly process info and respond. The BIG problem is staying organized - for myself and for the team who rely on "steady", "timely", "consistent" - and these are hard for me. But awareness about them and leaning on the team and management to be understanding and supportive goes a very long way. Overall the strengths make it worth it - I'd recommend PMing as a career for folks with ADHD! Even better? Start your own company :)
