The lighter side of ADHD
This is why work from home is such a blessing. In an office I could never be able to fuck around as much as I do, but I was definitely less productive overall because I wouldn't do the hyperfocus periods because I was recently l resentful about being at the office.
Also see: do three people’s jobs alone but struggle to do just their own…
I got fired from a programming job because I wrote code for maybe 30 minutes a day, but spent all my other time going from desk to desk helping other devs find problems and get unstuck. It was maybe the most productive I've ever been on a job.
That day, I learned a valuable lesson: do an hour of work a day (or week), then sit at your desk pretending to work while parceling out the stuff you did. Never help anyone. My career has been much more successful since.
I did the middle one today. My head is smoking. Kinda stoked to do the same again tomorrow. But we all know this isn’t how it works.
I envy the turtles but I was born a hare.
I feel very fortunate slow that and steady doesn’t actually always win the race.
im personally stuck in nothing done mode
So... on average more work don than I get in a week?
Absolutely not
No.
The vast majority of ADHD memes made by self-diagnosed people who have no idea how it actually works.
They're the same as the type of people who claim they have OCD because they like to clean up right after eating. While in reality people with severe OCD can end up standing outside their front door in the rain and get soaking wet for 20min, because they have to unlock the door in pattern they can't get right.
Personally I don't get the 4 hours one every day, nor the 40 hours one every week. So not necessarily.
Of course there's the ultra rare week where you hit the 40 hour mode 2 or 3 times
Same... For me, number 3 is the default, until it gets to the point where my job is on the line. Then I do 40 hours in a day to catch up.
On average nothing is done compared to normal people 👍
On average nothing is done compared to ~~normal~~ boring people 👍
boring people, because there's no surprise with them, they have a task and like... just do the task? Pff, where's the fun, stress, and stuff in that?
They keep the fun at leave the "stress and stuff" for you
