Show Notes
Aji and Sally sit down to discuss their struggles with ADHD and the systems they have in place to stay focused at work.
They each share the note taking systems and tools they use to navigate a normal working day, how they came to fully understand and manage their ADHD, and Sally reminds us all why it’s very important to use a slash in your Slack reminders.
