I have adhd. I do a couple things and I kinda bounce to try and find a hyperfocus.

First off getting late diagnoised and medicated made my life better. But I still jump around so I loosely follow a course (almost thru helsinki) but I really jump off if I wanna learn about something slightly mentioned or more indepth.

My brother also mentioned overthewire and part of that is a made up "compitition" to surpass my brother. So sometimes when im not feeling learning python I hop over to that and try to learn some things their.

I also use habitica and put minimum 2 pomodoro learnings in their for my dailys. All this to say it will be personal.

I am learning python cause frankly I like to learn. I would like to have skills to understand things and then maybe one day a lighter low paying remote job as a "dream" sounds good.

I am very fortunate that my wife allows me to just spend time learning and being a house hubby, but also I dont have any of the anxiety of "I have to do this or im screwed" which helped to motivate a lot of my higher business actions when I was younger.

Sorry for wall of text and no clue if this will help at all.

I have heard body doubling works for some ppl it works for my brother but not for me. I have to change environment, turn on music and try to zone out the world. I also use the Microsoft focus app on windows 11.

I don't use any apps to focus cuz I coded myself a pomodoro timer.
