There are periods in my life where I can't seem to get anything done.
I know the tasks I need to do. I even begin them.
But it all. takes. so. much. more. time. and. effort.
Way more than at other times where I just breeze through everything (which could be a few days later).
I wish I could control this somehow. It's infuriating not being able to be at full capability all the time.
@ShadowZone so so much. I’ve learned to roll with it and structure my working life around it, chasing the dopamine whenever it surfaces — as a self employed software engineer that works pretty well. Sometimes I get a lot of guilt about what I should be doing vs what I actually am doing, but most of the time I think my bursts of hyperfocus and chill phases average out into a pretty normal human output.
