Fieldwork can be a harrowing experience, especially when the field throws carefully made plans into chaos. Planning for and dealing with these kinds of contingencies becomes easier with experience, but it may always present an extra challenge to those of us with executive dysfunction--in my case, ADHD.

While from the perspective of someone with ADHD, these strategies are broadly applicable to anyone pursuing a career with a fieldwork component.
