Erica,

After reading Lucy's post, it reminded me about one of my techniques. I do not wear a watch and try to avoid using clocks. I have found them to be counter-productive. If you can find a way to arrange your day so clock watching is less likely, you will be miles ahead.

I found that the only difference a clock made was my stress level, regardless of whether I was on time, early or late. By arranging my day with looser time constraints, I got just as much done with a lot less stress. The more important objective was to work at a consistent and comfortable pace.

In the US, Mild Cognitive Impairment or the other symptoms of PCS qualify as ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) conditions. Your employer is required to make reasonable accommodations so you can work without the crashes from the trifectas.

Social Security Disability Insurance regulations consider a lack of ability to maintain pace and persistence in normal work environments as qualifying for SSDI payments.
