If I go onto meds, will I still be able to rely on hyperfocus to accomplish tasks or master new skills?
I’ve realized that I kind of rely on my periods of hyperfocus to complete things (when I’m able to direct it toward the right task). If I go onto medication, will I still be able to hyperfocus? As destructive as hyperfocus can be when it’s pointed at the wrong thing, it’s like a superpower when it’s pointed at the right thing. Sometimes I appreciate the periodic flurry of activity and inspiration.
Yes. Imagine more productive hyperfocus. I have been in love with the idea of becoming a computer programmer since I was a kid. I dabbled for basically 35 years until I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. Got put on Vyvanse and ever since I’ve been actually building very specific utilities for personal use from the ground up. Feels good man.
