I’d love to have half of your focus. I work in an open office. I hear everyone’s conversations about home loans, calls to schedule doctors appointments, shit talking, and FaceTimes to families. 😕

I’m sorry OP. But you should be thankful for your focus! I have awful ADHD and even my medicine doesn’t give me “laser focus.”
