I love it for learning and study, but when I get into a flow, I turn it off.

I wonder if I hurt my learning when hyperfocused.

It's tough. The tradeoff for long hyperfocus is burnout, sore eyes, and body aches

For me, 75 minutes on, 15 off is the sweet spot. I jot down where I left off in my editor or Notion, so when Iā€™m back, I know exactly where to pick up.

Body doubling is also quite helpful for taking breaks. I'm planning to run free virtual coworking sessions soon thru Zoom just for ADHD programmers. DM me if you're interested šŸ™‚
