@Tributary This is not an unfamiliar issue.

Not at all, unfortunately. Consolations.

I've been hyperfocusing bad lately.

I mean, I've been getting a lot done crafting-wise, but it's also 6am and it's only by force of will I'm dragging myself to bed.

Why can't I hyperfocus at reasonable hours gdi?!

Also:
has anyone tried one of those water bottles that reminds you to drink water? I'm debating one because I think this cycle of hyperfocus is leading to me being dehydrated. And I wonder if an external reminder might help.

There is too much noise in my head and I can't focus. And then, I will get short bursts of hyperfocus so intense that I'm oblivious to what's around me.

b/c there are more expectations and distractions during the day. more stuff you feel like you SHOULD be doing keeping you from slipping into that zone

Challenge accepted. (I was actually about to make a playlist, no lie, for the 4 or so hours I'll be on the road today. )

PuppyBreath · Aug 16, 2020, 2:19 PM

Can it just be a playlist of the one song I'm obsessed with so I can listen to it over and over and over again?

this would be me. I have one song I'm hooked on rn. I'll listen to others but I always return to it.

Macha · Aug 16, 2020, 7:06 PM

Well, 4+ hours of playlist, and not a single song skipped/fast forwarded. I am oddly proud of myself. It was a pretty great drive, tbh.
