experimenting with a productivity hack:
setting a 5-minute timer to focus on only one thing
it's simple: set a timer & tackle only one task for 5 mins. anyone can do anything for 5 mins
sounds really silly but my adhd can get the best of me when trying to do some focused work...
don't get me wrong, the adhd is incredible for certain types of work & connecting ideas but when i need to do the deep stuff it can be hard to focus
giving myself permission to do only 5 mins but "completely locked in" is wayyyy less daunting that committing to an hour and failing every time
plus if i'm being honest, this is how my brain works: 5 min deep work burst, little rest, 5 min deep work burst, rest, repeat
the cool thing is this kinda training helps you with longer periods of deep work -- try it out
