Asking for Advice on Academic Twitter

Sometimes when I run into an issue, whether it be with reading, research, or some other issue in my professional life, I call out into the Twitter void and ask for some help. I’ve attached a few tweets where I received tons of helpful replies about the following topics:

data analysis in R
reading academic papers
managing academic life and ADHD

I am ready to cry. I spent all day working through my data in R (which I am making myself learn since I can't really get SPSS at home).

It's my first project and my first data set as a ~PhD Student~ and I can't help but feel a little bit emotional. Small wins!!

Being real for a sec, as a second year grad student I have difficulty getting through most academic papers in one sitting. I get into shame spirals about this and I just don’t know where to start about how to be a better academic paper reader

Thought I'd call out into the Twitter void because I'm having a hard time right now:

Can any other academics *with ADHD* share productivity tips or their daily work routine? More than ever I've been feeling like even simple tasks are an insurmountable barrier.
