During the day I just kind of loaf around, answer questions on slack, practice music, work out, etc.
Late at night is the only time I can get any deep work done.
- pm90 5y agoI am so glad to read this because I am just the same. Day time seems like there’s just too much other things to do, night time it’s quiet and dark and it feels cozy to sit at my desk, uninterrupted by slack messages or meetings and get long stretches of focus time.

- indiantinker 5y agoI am double glad to read this. I am pretty much the same. I just cannot work when other people are around. I tend to end up helping them on some of their tasks and do my work when they all have left. The problem is that doing so gets work done , but you get a bit burny and your, if any, social life suffers. I have since then, done the following, found a special zone/cabin and started to make a list when I go to this cabin. This has helped on tasks that I like to do (like designing and programming) but I still have to slog through other tasks (making presentations and writing pointless documents) in the late evenings. The guide that helped me was this : https://adhdatwork.add.org/adhd-accommodation-guide/ https://adhdatwork.add.org/adhd-accommodation-guide/

- xzel 5y ago11 pm - 2/3 am is the best time for me to get work done. Most people are asleep. News, slack/discord and emails aren't coming in. Hopefully the small tasks were already done earlier in the day, and the only thing left to do is focus. My only worry with this is that its just a cover for my procrastination.

- anchpop 5y agoWow, I'm the exact same way. I basically never get anything done before 12 but I'm perfectly happy working until 10pm. I wish I could work earlier because it really disrupts my family life.
- LouisSayers 5y agoWhy not block out a couple hours during the day where people can't interrupt? This was brought up many times in my last workplace and we found that we could cancel lots of meetings and magically the days became much more free. I also never put slack on my phone, and use the snooze functionality. Usually you can make the time if you really want to.
- ses1984 5y agoWhy would I do this? What I’m doing works for me.
- LouisSayers 5y agoMore free time? I mean is it understood that you're not working much during the day? Otherwise it sounds like you'd have to be "on" pretty much all the time.
