Cold. Work was closed for a couple days due to inclement weather, so during the abbreviated week it has been hard to stay focused and productive.

In more positive news I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and started on atomoxetine. I’ve been on it for nearly a month, and I feel like it’s helping. Last week I was consistently having three to five hours of productivity per day, where before I was doing well to get that much in a whole week.

For me at least I feel like there’s some truth to the screencap I see floating around in adhd communities about:

My brain has two productivity modes:

  • 30 minutes of work in 3 hours
  • 3 hours of work in 30 minutes

It switches back & forth randomly and I don’t seem to have any control over it.
