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 hours
All types are sprinkled with work unrelated sidequests

@jascha I can't but agree π€
Consensus Tullyality@jascha ye gods, what a mood
Agnieszka R. TurczyΕska@jascha Senpai noticed me π
Netraven@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"
Darwin WoodkaFor 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.
Bit Regurgitator@jascha can we pick which ones?
Also no.
Shrimpney@shrimpney or just an executive dysfunction which can originate from many different things
Klaus Frank@jascha As someone with #adhd I'd like to add to this that this is all while being unmedicated. When medicated it's:
* getting the wrong thing done.
* getting nothing done because people kept interrupting you (probably same for everyone I suppose)
* get 4h of work done in 4h but not at the desired start time.
* getting the wrong thing done.

@agowa338 I am medicated and I have those days 70% if the time so as always: medication helps but does not necessarily solve all issuesy
Joanie with the Good Hair π·π I'm in this toot and I don't like it.
@clickhere I am not sorry π
@jascha Fair - you're just sayin it as it is. π«‘
F4GRX SΓΒ©bastien@jascha fuck are you observing me right now or what
π Mehdi.doc@jascha I hate it so much
Anyia, refuelled girl π³οΈββ§οΈ@jascha I feel called out, and I don't even have a (self)diagnosis, heh
@anyia executive dysfunction can originate from many things so you might have something else π€·ββοΈ
silhouette@jascha it's fineeee
Charlie Balogh@jascha I'm in this post, and I don't like it.

eestileib (she/hers)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.

Bruce PrestonTime 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
Anarchic Teapot β§οΈ@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.
Shae Erisson@anarchic_teapot @jascha sometimes my side quests are the setup for a different day's work, but they are always relevant.
Karolis@treciasese are you one of us? π
elenyte πͺπΊ@karolis concerta a day keeps the nonsense at bay (mostly)
@treciasese brain goblins π
MisterStormwing@jascha Feel like the dice are weighted differently every day, too.
MANCHUCK@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
Colin@jascha @gothpanda I feel incredibly seen
Chris Simpson@jascha sometimes it can be 2 or 3 but you still think it was 1
PhilLovesCats@jascha Relatable
Margret Kuarell@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)

Zachary Perlman@jascha I'm consistently able to do the 40 hours of work done in 4 hours. But I have to be genuinely interested. It has to be my own passion project, not somebody else's.
Tom BortelsSome days it it wasn't for the hyperfocus I'd have no focus at all.

Thanks to medication I can do #3 more often π
#2 is typically deadline-induced
#1 is nowadays mostly a consequence of #3 (done everything interesting already)

CyberFrog@jascha seems pretty normal to me, every truly productive person or game changing team member I've worked with does this ngl
there are some people which just consistently do a little bit of work every day, and those people are great too, projects don't really work without those people... but someone with chaotic ADHD energy doing nothing for a week and suddenly rewriting an entire component because "everything is better this way" is how a lot of game changing software gets made tbh
