I've had ADHD and OCD my entire life, but didn't get diagnosed with it until I was 33. Up to that point, I struggled as a developer to get things done. This talk is all about the tips, tricks, and techniques I used to get things done. From managing your time, prioritizing, and being a better leader, this talk is full of the things I still use on a daily basis to overcome having both ADHD and OCD.
