TL;DR - I can be detail oriented in one second and completely inattentive the next. I’m diagnosed, on wellbutrin, off of 🍃, & creating extra safeguards, but I still haven’t improved. What has helped you? I don’t want to leave the field.

Today I got asked to update some text on a page. Simple enough, right?
I edited it in sandbox first, in two different places. Published and notified them. I realized a third place they didn’t mention would need an update too and asked about it. Thought I was being careful and thoughtful.
What did I do? Copied the wrong info from sandbox over to production of course. And when it was flagged, I initially thought they were referring to the third place instead of the other two.
It always feels like one step forward and two steps back. I took two days off this week to get my head together and ended up spending 20 hours straight on a final project instead because I procrastinated.
I quit smoking 🍃 a month ago. I’ve been taking my wellbutrin every day. My sleep isn’t perfect but usually get 6-7 hours.
Checklists help, but every task is different enough to require its own. And of course I forget to make one. I revamped my project management, automated so many tasks, set extra safeguards, etc and STILL.
Idk what else to do. I used to feel smart and perform well at my jobs. Now I just feel incompetent. And I don’t want to leave the field either.
