    Key Points

    🔹 Finding the Right Job

    • Don’t quit impulsively — explore other jobs while keeping your current one.
    • Creative outlets are essential for ADHD brains.

    🔹 Choosing a Career

    • Use the three-circle method:
      1. What you love to do
      2. What you’re good at
      3. What people will pay you to do
    • The overlap = your best career choice.

    🔹 Managing Boredom
