I’ve realized that I kind of rely on my periods of hyperfocus to complete things (when I’m able to direct it toward the right task). If I go onto medication, will I still be able to hyperfocus? As destructive as hyperfocus can be when it’s pointed at the wrong thing, it’s like a superpower when it’s pointed at the right thing. Sometimes I appreciate the periodic flurry of activity and inspiration.
Fpr me, I feel like there’s an increase in the times that you can hyperfocus while on meds and it’s about 80/20 that I can steer it in the right direction an dbe productive. I’m completely aware when it’s off the rails focus and I just try my best to make it positive. So doing data analytics I can hunker down and do 3 days of work in one day but if it’s level 11 social butterfly I make those my manager touch point days. It’s annoying that there’s no way to get back on the rails when it’s one of those types of days but it is what it is.
