Yes I have been in this situation and thousands of times before.
How did I handle it?
First I have to add I was doing this with paperwork.
What works for me is this: I check my work once or twice, I have a Apple computer, so I then highlight everything and click SPEECH. (I’m sure PC has that available someplace) The computer reads it back to me, if it sounds good great. I found that I could check my work many times then say to myself its GOOD. Only to pick it up a few days later and find it FULL of errors after coming back to it.
Now For stuff that had to be done right away: I found I had a problem with obsessing over the wrong things. So I stopped worrying about it so much and behold I was making less errors. Delegating things is a great solution too if you have the resources to do it. Create a master piece with your magic ADD/ADHD brain and have someone else correct errors of course that is if the nature of your work allows for that. For me it’s GRAMMAR. If I submit something and it has to be professional I NEVER proof myself I get others to do it. I’m now learning to delegate as much I as can, I create the machine and other people tighten the Nuts and Bolts for me. If there was a MAGIC pill for me this maybe it.
That my experience I hope you can use it.
