Winging It: My Neurodivergent Non-Technical Journey into Data
summary
Claims that ADHD-friendly work relies on concrete hacks: uses the INCUP acronym (interest, novelty, challenge, urgency, passion) and shows specific practices that work — listening to music and dual‑tasking to distract half the brain, changing environment (coffee shops) for novelty, gamifying chores and setting short deadlines, body‑doubling via a virtual co‑working room, timeboxing hyperfocus, and using a song-as-timer to trigger urgency. Notes ADHD is legally a disability in the UK and that managerial accommodations and small workflow tweaks materially improve productivity and wellbeing.
