Since this post will likely attract my people, I'm curious how folks with an ADHD diagnosis have adapted to working from home. If possible, separate the comfort of it from the productivity of it.
I find personally that it's much more comfortable working from home, and while there have been many 'blown days' due to lapses in discipline, I can have days where I crush it as well. Open plan office environments are like someone is jamming my brain with a microwave, I can't accomplish anything. High-walled cubicle environments are better but all it takes is someone with a smelly lunch or wheezy breath and I'm off track.
