Undiagnosed ADHD. Jobs get repetitive after the “training” phase.

My job is to replace smart gas meter devices. It involves a lot of driving, and repeating the same installation process 20+ times a day. Sometimes something interesting happens, but they are getting fewer and farther between. I’ve been there a couple months and I am getting burnt out from the repetition. As of right now, I usually watch videos or eat on my breaks.

Things I’ve considered:

  • Podcasts (I’d have to use my own phone, and I feel like I’d get bored of these pretty quick)
  • Music (I listen to music when I’m driving, but not during the installs. I could bring a bluetooth earpiece and listen all day, but again, I feel like I’d get burnt out/bored)
  • Call someone (I dont have the social capacity to talk for 8 hours. I also have to ring doors and talk to residents)
  • Give in to distractions (I can allow myself to stop and explore every so often, but not too often because I have a quota)

Have y’all found anything that helps throughout the day?

    In the line of podcasts, music and other audio/video contents you can just listen too, maybe check Grayjay and/or NewPipe, and pick the interesting stuff you find from the platforms connected? Each social media has a different focus, a culture if you will, and so mixing stuff might help keeping what you get to listen fresh.
