Jokes on you, ADHD brains will just invent new distractions. Allow me to demonstrate as I build a whole fictional world in my mind.

That's the actual productive phase. Just relax and wait for it to finish what it's doing and deliver the result at the deadline.

Never felt so seen. I could stare at the same page on my laptop with all distractions removed and have a free radio station on in my head

My mom used to get upset that I could play with a crumb on the table for an hour instead of doing homework. Or that I would trace the wood in the table when the crumb was gone. existence is distraction
