Arrange your schedule in such a way that you can remain focused. This does not mean that you neglect your family at the end of the work day. It doesn’t mean that you don’t take time to take care of yourself by eating or something else. If you feel like you can and should just keep working, then that’s what you do. Put time into your schedule to eat, check and return emails, and return phone calls. Just keep this one thing in mind: if you have ADHD or think you have ADHD, be aware if you tend to do this often (in a way that puts yourself in danger by not eating or sleeping) that you should look into the possibility of hyperfocus. Focusing in long spurts when you feel able should still be done in the right way. You don’t have to focus on the details of things you can do even on days where you aren’t focused. Some things really are just done at face value. Use this energy by focusing on projects that deserve it. This is a good time for problem solving.
