Yes - but can you control this superpower? I do this - but getting into the hyperfocus trance is pretty iffy, and I'm easily knocked out by real-world interruptions - like my wife coming out and saying "it's 9pm, are you still working?"

I actually have a "stop working" alarm.

@tbortels @gsuberland I think of it as weighing probabilities, setting myself up for getting into the flow state (hyperfocus). I can weigh the dice towards flow by prepping the "do three things" priority list in advance of starting so I can 'hit the ground running', putting on focus music, having snacks and water nearby, etc.

But this doesn't mean I'll succeed most days because, well, definition of ADHD.
