[quote=Anonymous]I wish you luck, op.

I work for the federal gov't and see a lot of people (like you describe yourself) let go because they don't accomplish their workload, productivity is low, and they are so frustrating for their coworkers to deal with on a daily basis. It never ends.

I'd advise you to get help/ build these skills before you are in trouble at work. I'd go part time, especially during pregnancy when work is never going to be your priority (it isn't for me when I'm pregnant). It is executive functioning and you can gain skills with cognitive therapy to be more aware of your thought patterns and work habits as you are completing them.

I agree with PP that you do not sound type B if you are getting overwhelmed and stressed. You also say you accomplish tasks " but I prefer a slower pace and to do things methodically " but my best feedback for people like this is always "apparently your job doesn't call for this".

If you have coworkers able to accomplish the same things in s smaller timeline with less attention to detail but being told they are doing a good job, then that is what you need to do. No one is noticing the minutiae. You won't win any awards for taking too long to do something 'too well' that no one is going to notice.

I'm not trying to beat you up- definitely make the pregnancy your priority (don't know if you get pregnancy brain like I do where you just blank out on important details) and don't beat yourself up too much at this time.[/quote]
