   me cosplaying as a neurotypical person =

   - spending a TON of energy trying to suppress impulses from my brain.
   - feeling extremely frustrated because I cannot concentrate in long enough "bouts of time"
   - feeling bad about myself because I am "abnormal"

   I don't get any work done because I keep spinning around in circles in my brain.

   In stead of work I am only engaging in work-avoidant behaviour: talking, reacting to every sound, scrolling.

   This is ALSO making me extremely tired, with extra guilt added on top.

   I am happy I found a new way of working for myself that feels more in line with how my brain likes to operate.

   [P] I'm adopting this wearisome look around neurotypical hiverarchians. Expect dumb, and never be disappointed. S'for the best.

   "Ugga-boo-bunga! Yoo am yooz da parry-graffs like da clankas, dat meen... yoo iz yooz clanka to mayk wurd-scratch 'cuz yoo yooz parry-graffs!"

   I'm not smart, but hiverarchians keep lowering the bar. What next? Every book is written by a "clanker," so burn them all? Oh boy, witch hunts.

   Why the 8-hour workday is a scam for people with ADHD (like me).

   To cater to the way my brain works, I get in the rollercoaster at the start of the workday and I follow the impulses of my brain.

   This sounds crazy, but actually I found out that this works better for me than resisting the thoughts and impulses that my brain wants to follow.

   In practice this means that:
   - focus work HAS to happen in the morning or it won't happen at all
   - I do way too many things sequentially, a lot of context switching
   - I am extremely tired by 15:00-16:00 because of said context-switching

   I did get a lot done, though. Way more compared to the era where I was cosplaying as a neurotypical person.

   This is how I work "with" my ADHD, no meds required.
