Since no one has given you an actual list of accommodations, here you go:

  • more frequent but shorter breaks
  • standing desk
  • work from home (if allowed)
  • noise cancelling headphones/earbuds
  • instructions for tasks clearly written and defined
  • extended deadlines / dedicated time to work on specific tasks
  • flexible schedule
  • private / quieter workspace
  • switching positions to another role that better suits you

It’s basically anything within reasons to help you successfully do your job. Talk to your HR about ADA accomodations.If you are diagnosed with ADHD, you have the legal right to these accomodations.


I felt this way at my last job. Then I got a new job that I actually really like and I don’t feel that way anymore.


Yes but the being motivated is the problem.


Ride the success and just do other bullshit stuff you’ve put off too - seriously tho, good job on making the call. I feel your pain


Thank you so much for your thoughtful response, I genuinely appreciate it.

Your concerns with both privacy and lack luster keyboard were 2 of my sticking points. Since you are echoing this, I think I may honestly just give up on the light phone. Watching YouTube, the e-ink performance and response does seem to be an issue.

It may be made to not be used as often, but when I do use it - I want it to work - especially for $300.

The Nokia phone is gonna be a no go for me.

What I am considering is the CAT S22. It’s not dumb, but not really fully smart either. It probably skates by with Cs and Bs and got detention a time or two. At $70, I think it’s with a try.

For now, I may take a page from your book and install Graphene OS on my Pixel 4a and give the apps you mentioned another go.

Thanks again for your insight!


Does anyone here have any experience with the Light Phone 2?
I find myself on my phone way more than I want to be. It is a distraction. However, for everything it does distract me from, it still is a useful tool. I have tired usage blocking apps. But since I can just turn it off - it doesn't really work. I take pictures to remember things, and I worry that the light phone not having a camera will be a problem... but I am also just thinking I could just write things down I guess. Anyway I'm just wondering if any of you switched to a dumb phone and have noticed a positive impact on your life.

Liftoff is pretty great. Devs keep making improvement every day.

I am still waiting for Sync for Lemmy to come out, but Liftoff might convert me.
