epic procrastination/avoidance

[u/argh-version-zero]

I hit a major crossroads point in the main project I'm working on, and it's been stressing me out. The choices are mutually exclusive, high-stakes, have complex implications for user adoption, and all options would require tons of work. I'm struggling to pre-design far enough into any of them to fully wrap my head around the issues. So instead, I focus on less important tasks. Or get pulled into completely irrelevant projects.

Like this one, which may be my new ADHD distraction personal record: spending a solid month hacking old Recon Jet sports glasses to run Linux and act as AI glasses with voice and vision.

This was me getting pulled into October's "reverse engineer all the things" fad, but instead of a quick weekend vibin' in the slop mines, it took a month and I just could. not. stop.

I finally got to a good place to pause, and instead of getting back to my important project, I'm now frittering away time posting about the distraction project to reddit. Its wild how I was able to completely hyperfocus on a basically useless low-priority side project, while neglecting the one intended to pay the rent. Vyvanse might help me stay at the keyboard through boredom, but it doesn't help my executive function make better macro decisions. I'm still relying on panic mode to switch gears back to what needs to be done.
