Diagnosed ADHD, while I do tend to bounce around, if it’s a big project with multiple different facets, I tend to bounce to a different section of it. For example, was writing the plot line for a game > got hit with an idea > jumped to drawing a character

I don’t know if it’s the adhd or the autism but I can’t task-switch to save my life, so if I look at another tab for even a couple seconds, I’ll lose my focus and get completely sidetracked. >.> I’m either singularly focused or not working (and moving from one to the other is a little agonizing)

Way too much bouncing I could be drawing for and scrolling reddit and listening to music and lurking in discord all together 😅 I have a hard time focusing and I lean into that, too much forced focus makes me to lose motivation. Skill issue

I have literally no ability to do a single task at one time .. my intrusive thoughts take the wheel and I simply laugh along the way

I think it just takes time for you to enter flow state and just focus on it For me it takes some time as well for me to "lock in" while writing my story (and then I hyperfocus for hours) Love your videos King 🤴

I'm diagnosed with ADHD so it's normal for me when I'm not on my meds to take about an hour before I lock in. Unless it's a job that pays my build I need a warm up. Similar to a car in the winter cold.

There's a magical sweet spot of sensory distraction that REALLY helps the workflow, and it's easy to go wayyyy overboard in a way that's destructive. It hardly feels like it works the same way twice, like my brain is like "Hey remember that one time we worked for 12 hours straight and accomplished a week's worth of work while drunk, over-caffeinated, and listening to ASMR and speedrun gaming videos at the same time? What do you mean that's never gonna work twice? I certainly canNOT bounce around from task to task, e.g., stopping to answer emails. The whole thing comes unraveled if I try task-switching like that, and that's the only constant I know of so far. Oh well. Someday I'll understand this dumb brain of mine.

All the time, especially if I am writing lol. Funny thing is, even when I break away, I still think about piecing things together for the paper/piece I have to finish (researching, etc.) I did take Adderall a few years ago, and the time I would break, never really felt like a break. Something I thought I was doing for hours (goofing off) actually lasted for a few minutes lol

That seems to be the ADHD experience. We tend to be better creators than the rest of the population and can have the ability to hyperfocus on tasks we find enjoyable. I've heard 1/20 people have ADHD, so 5% normality max to put a number to it. :P

I have to be doing multiple things at once. Whether that's actively trying to multi task or watching/reading something between long binges of a singular task. Especially since I deleted social media.

Where's the option to say postpone it for a few days and forget doing it altogether

When you're doing a task, to use myself as an example, writing or editing, how often are you checking another tab for a very short period of time, reading a section of an article on your phone, responding to one message, or some other super small activity? I'll bounce around for probably 15 minutes until I eventually focus in and work nonstop for like four hours, and I have no idea how "normal" that is
