I will let go of all my normal home maintenance tasks, such as cleaning, laundry, taking out the trash, changing bed sheets, etc., until I have a deadline for work approaching. All of a sudden, I have all the energy in the world to focus on said tasks while I avoid the looming deadline that I must absolutely accomplish if I don’t want to get fired. Why can’t I just work on things without the pressure? 😩
Feel you…
I had/have two modes:
Write a 5 page essay in > 2 weeks
or
Have it due in 5 days and achieving the flow when writing.
Getting started was so difficult for me and I always needed a bit of inspiration on how start it.
That’s where I’m at! I’ve been on Strattera for the past month, and it’s been impressive how well it helps me focus. I can get stuck on a topic to the detriment of my bodily needs, such as peeing or eating. However, I still find it very hard to start. It’s almost impossible without some sort of urgent stressor. However, once I do start, I’m going to focus on it like a super human.
