I don’t know about you, but I really struggle with emails. These sentences were really helpful!

    One of the major reasons this applies to ADHD for me is the fact that I can fall behind on projects and emails and then feel the need to over-apologize and over-extend myself to fix the problem. Several of these tips address it. It’s more about boundaries than emails per se, if that makes sense… I mean, let me know if you have any questions :)

      It makes perfect sense. Thank you for sharing. I can relate a bit with my own problems, so I know what you are talking about and can extrapolate further if I do not. Have you managed to create some mechanisms how to mitigate these issues? Something like forcing yourself to set hard limits on how much time you can allocate to any project in addition to the normal amount of time you would allocate for the task, limiting how many times you can use ‘sorry’ in a single e-mail, etc.?

      This is an interesting and enlightening discussion under this post. I learned new things. For that, I am grateful.
