People with #adhd have three types of workday:
* Get absolutely nothing done
* Get 4 hours of work done at a random point in time
* Get 40 hours of work done in 4 hoursAll types are sprinkled with work unrelated sidequests
I don't think I have ADHD but when I was unmarried and wrote software for a living I used to love the week of Dec 26-31, nobody in the office and I could just go in and do two month's worth of work.

@jascha also ITT: Get the wrong shit done and delay everything else

@jascha you forgot "get 8 hours of work done in 30 minutes before work actually starts, and then feel bad about doing nothing the rest of the day"
For me back in the bad old office work days it was get 8 hours work done in 30 minutes at home, email everyone, go into office after a nice breakfast and avoiding traffic, get yelled at by boss about not getting x done, ask, "have you checked your email?" wait for apology, go to my office and play Spider for two hours, go to lunch.

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 oneSo:
- 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 Feel like the dice are weighted differently every day, too.

@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 sometimes it can be 2 or 3 but you still think it was 1

@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)
