Oh, wow, it's late! Off to bed...

#HyperFocus

Hey autistics and adhders, I have a question for you:

How do you stop yourself from hyperfocus?
I occasionally get into a hyperfocus that's more hurtful than helpful, so I need a way to break out of it.

What are your strategies?

#adhd #autism #hyperfocus

@calisti That too.

Also after a lot of input I can’t concentrate on anything any more. Including social interactions and every person is too much for me while a lot of people in one room are simply unbearable, because I hear them all at once!

#hyperfocus is just ONE #adhd symptom.

The reason I don’t do puzzles is that it’s 1:30 AM and I just looked up from doing a puzzle.

My boss is really sweet. He tries to help me not to #burnout on #hyperfocus. I think it something he read about somewhere, that #adhd and #asd peeps can get burnt out when they are in hyperfocus all day. What he doesn't get is, not being in hyperfocus is equally exhausting for me, because I instead burn a lot of energy on getting and keeping myself motivated. There's two settings for my #brain "full tilt" and "fuck this". If I spend too much time in the later, I need to spend the same amount as usual in tht former with added "ah, shit this should have been done by noon yesterday". But at least he cares 💖

I have a hard time "stealing five minutes" to write, short of jotting down an idea that was already in my head. To actually generate words or edit I need the time & space to be able to hyperfocus, and that's not something I can pop in and out of. #audhd #adhd #actuallyautistic #hyperfocus #writing

Had some proper #ADHD #hyperfocus days recently. Playing with a fanless server I borrowed from $dayjob, installing pfSense in a VM on Debian stable, switching the home WiFi to a Zyxel access point with separate VLANs and SSIDs for my home network and for a VPN connection to my job's development environment.
I completely forgot to eat yesterday 😅

Remember when I said "Before I let my AuDHD take over?”

I may have held off on looking up cream, but the AuDHD was determined to steamroll me while getting work done. I just looked at the clock after thinking “I haven't had this headache in a while…” And then I realized I microwaved a little turkey pie for lunch and it was still sitting in the microwave. Looks like we're doing a dinner AND supper tonight!

Cannot believe how a quick session of messing with the computer, remembering & refamiliarising myself with Obsidian & SyncThing up ended my day.
A pre breakfast half an hour turned out to have plowed through both breakfast & lunch & into early mid-afternoon territory 😂.

Plans in ruins, important tasks shunted as my brain was pickled or something.
Something, something hyperfocus, time blindness & executive dysfunction lead to something & dehydration. Why can't this trifecta happen when I need it?
I'd plough through all my tasks & then spend the last hours of the day restocking my body's calorie & liquid stores whilst unwinding with some movies or episodes 😎.

@pfr #hyperfocus kind of bit me in the ass this morning when my clothes were all labeled but I couldn’t find anything else I needed :blobfoxcrylaugh:

Is #hyperfocus an autistic thing, or ADHD? I have both, and can't split them easily. So which is it, please? 🙏

I count this as creative thing so i thought to share.

In the end of each year, I like many others, get a calendar for next year.

What follows is an intense period of hyper focus and colour explosion. It is not bullet journalling exactly because the calendar I use has months and weeks and dates and so on already. But the decorating, ah.

I thought calendars dont work on me, but it was that boring, white, premade calendars just didn’t caught my attention.

W00t?

Schon fast 19 Uhr?!

Ich bin immernoch in der Arbeit?!

Uff...
#Hyperfocus I guess

Current status: It's the middle of the night and I'm contemplating the existential nature of the last pickled onion in the jar. This was not on the schedule. Send help. And maybe more onions. #UpLate #ADHD #Hyperfocus

I spent significant time and effort on writing a server with an API and a database back-end in `go`, then two weeks ago shifted to something else.
Now I come back, and I truly have no idea how to even launch the thing from the terminal in my editor. `go run something something?` No clue, will have to use search to find out. Very annoying!
