I would say for sure you can make a good lawyer with or without ADHD, but, of course, we need to learn how to work with it. Love how you break this down for us.
I HAVE to use a physical planner, because online planners are gone from my mind as soon as I close them. And I have recently started using seasonal or themed stickers to make my planner more fun to open and look at.
@kjibarrola There are countless ways to phrase these requests, many of which don't even require that you disclose your diagnosis. My best resource for ADHD accommodations for lawyers is this episode of The Former Lawyer podcast with Lauren Ascher, lawyer-turned-ADHD coach and therapist: formerlawyer.com/2023/10/09/adhd-accommodations-for-lawyers/#:~:text=Examples%20of%20Accommodations%20for%20Lawyers%20with%20ADHD&text=Is%20it%20better%20working%20by,machine%20are%20other%20great%20resources.
Do you have recommendations (or a video) for those getting started / in the beginning of their law journey with ADHD? It's great that there are opportunities to have assistants help keep us on course (that is very encouraging), but how can someone with ADHD be a good lawyer / law student during the entry level or "proving ourselves" years?
Do you think you could be successful as a lawyer with ADHD or would you be willing to support ADHD lawyers so they can be successful?

Thanks so much, @CoachNateLaw!

I tell my iphone to "remind me to do X." That is the only thing that really seems to work for me.
