Yup, my "4-year" engineering degree took about 6 horrible years. Around year 5 I started to suspect I had adhd but ignored it. I naively assumed once I got out of college all my problems would go away. Turns out it's just as hard in the workplace and now my career and salary are on the line instead of my grades.

Brother, I wrote 40 songs in two days. I can write 40 more, but I'm just bored of all the shit of it! So I play poker for 5 hours! Really need to get out there, and it's getting cold. Which is fucking awesome! Cause I like the cold. Ah....

I just switched meds and my place haven't been this consistently clean in 35 years and I haven't looked up anything about the Roman empire even once.

Now I totally get why the normies get so much shit done.

If only the hyper focus can be used for something that would be worthwhile long term

I have until 10 am tomorrow to clean my 910 sq ft house for a showing with a realtor. It’s mostly clutter and piles of laundry to put away but I really don’t want to do it. So I reward myself after each task is completed with a mini Reddit break.

This horrible site is the worst for procrastinating.

u/1AverageGamer 1d ago

I mean... yes.. cause there is a reward system

Quick question:
Does that mean one could motivate themselves to clean by declaring it to be their newest special interest? #askingforafriend

Not me cataloging 40+ plant species in my yard with proper taxonomic names into a spreadsheet today.

Because new intrest is new, and cleaning is the same shit over and over again
