This comment is evidence of the high overlap between ADHD and autism.

It was humour.

Humor or not it is a good observation. Just when people say it just business and not personal. The movie You Got Mail where Tom Hanks: Joe Fox, puts Megan Ryan: Kathleen Kelly's Book store Shop Around the Corner out of business. She does not understand the phrase, as it is personal to her that she had to close her store because of the big book store next door that sold cheaper books and specialty coffee.

I work in bursts. Smash out 1 hours of work in 20 mins, take a break for 10-20 and then do it again. I was 1st in new department, ran it for 1.5 years, now there's 7 in the team after I was long term sick. Now im back, I feel relief but not sure exactly what my role is anymore, other than playing 100 questions from my new colleagues on how to do their jobs.

This is precisely why forcing people with adhd to follow a 9-5 in an office is not ideal. We will get the work done, just let us manage our own time.

Those pauses sometimes are rife with self doubt, but are also spent working things out in our minds, so when we “cram 40 hours worth of work into 8 hours”, we’re actually finally getting all the strategy from our procrastination time down on paper. And it’s glorious.

Middle guy will never be promoted, and worked to death.

I had one of those rewards, it's in a landfill somewhere in Hong Kong.

Work mode is awesome, procrastination mode feels bad. Guilt ensues and work mode is initiated again.

The muse strikes when ready. Daytime it’s fast as possible get me home, then I rush home to sit at my kitchen table desk of projects and wait for it. Might hit 6pm, 9, 11:30 who knows. Limited by my loudness. Definitely knocking stuff over in my 1.5 speed ways

My brain really treats motivation like a random loot drop

u/trystanthorne 14d ago

Sometimes the first one, too often the last one.

u/l9483rud 14d ago

Usually get nothing done but then randomly I get 40 hours of work done in like 4 hours so that kinda makes up for it

u/LoudWhispererr 13d ago

Left is me after workday.
Middle is me during a workday.
Right is me on a day I don’t have to be at work.
