People with #adhd have three types of workday:

@jascha

Time estimates with ADHD:
- Figure out how long it would take you on a good day when you can lock in
- Double the number
- Move the unit up by one

So:
- For a 2 hour task, estimate 4 days
- For a 3 day task, estimate 6 weeks

@jascha Everybody knows that the sidequests *might* seem irrelevant, but if you don't do them you'll be missing something really important and useful further on in the main quest.

@jascha Now with work mandating the use of AI, it's worse for me. I will type out a prompt, and while I'm waiting for it to finish, I'll go on a non-work-related sidequest that has fifty steps. Next thing I know, its two hours later and the agent finished it works an hour and a half ago

@jascha Me trying to convince my team lead that it would help a lot if i could have at least 4h per day where no one is allowed to call... (found a way to provoke a flow state. It's wonderful. So much work getting done while not realising time exists... until someone calls)
