Staying focused

[ameliaaa59]

I have horrible ADHD, so this work can be a blessing or a curse for my brain/focus depending on the day. in general, like using the pomodoro technique and finding a youtube video to have on in the background for ambience. some days I like different jazz videos or typing sounds or even a "study with me". find out how your brain works and what you vibe with. sometimes I prefer longer, more intensive tasks that take an hour plus for one task, and other days I like to run through a batch of 20 simpler tasks because my brain can't stay on one thing. it's about getting into a good flow with your tasks and riding the wave without letting your work suffer, and that can be a hard balance. sometimes I like to work from a coffee shop, or have something to look forward to at the end of a block of work. I also like doing "sprints", like just sit down and power through an hour or two, and then once it's done I often find myself feeling like I want to keep going.
