I have #ADHD which means I have 2 modes:

  1. Accomplish 3 hours of work in 30 minutes
  2. Accomplish 30 minutes of work in 3 hours.

I do not control the modes! They seem to be randomly assigned!

Wait. Some of you are getting work done? What about the procrastination? I hope you've set some weeks aside for that.

Was going to say, the only mode I have is "do nothing for 3 hours, tell myself I'll do it tomorrow, and then do nothing for 3 hours again the next day."

Until 9pm on the last day, when the anxiety-integer rolls over from 255 to 0 and i can finally start working

One of my problems is that I often do get work done, just the wrong work. I can't bring myself to do the work I'm supposed to be doing, and end up doing doing something I wasn't supposed to do, but at least it's still work I guess

For me it’s: work 15 hours straight with no ability to stop or change focus, or not work for 1 month straight.

Freelancing with ADHD is a mood

  1. Accomplish -30 minutes of work in no time

I've lost track of time and forgot to eat

When the mode is randomly assigned, then over time the amount of work delivered should trend towards 1:1

[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Not 3 hours, 3 days/weeks/months depending on how much i despise the task
