Got handed a last-minute, urgent project yesterday, and my hyperfocus SAVED me. Zero distractions, just laser-like intensity until it was done. Anyone else relate?

Absolutely this! But then home to zone out with music or film I’ve already watched.

Yes, time to watch my comfort show for the 11th time through so I don’t actually have to pay attention 😂

Yes and I love with this happens! But it’s only once in a blue moon. I wish I could control when my hyper focus kicks in lol

I’m able to channel hyper focus more than other people but first I procrastinate a lot - wish I could reduce how much I distract myself at first

You’re procrastinating before because the closer you get to the deadline the more adrenaline you feel which helps kickstart the hyperfocus. A blessing and a curse!

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before.

I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)
