I don't have the ability to focus on tasks that I am not interested in and I hyperfocus on the other ones.

attentive decisions have domimance
choose what dominates 🫡
I don't have ADHD, tho. I'm simply easily underwhelmed by things that are irrelevant.
I can easily concentrate on useful things, like cleaning the toilets or learning a new branch of mathematics.
If I were allowed to work on things I cared about, I'd be an absolute machine.
But, instead, I languish here, at my laptop, while my mind wanders.
🫂 That's literally me
I've decided to stop sitting here, pretending to work. I'm going to go tidy my house, bake something delicious and catch up on paperwork.
I'm always happy when I'm working from home. It's better then... but still so boring
The never-ending boredom of useless work.
So true
I was so much more productive in software development. I'm so good at that.
Or baking. Loved working in a bakery, despite the night shift.
I can concentrate on interesting mental tasks or dull manual tasks, but not dull mental tasks.
I could happily spend all day cleaning toilets or studying history, but not all day filling in document templates.
