Don’t have adhd that I know of but always find myself strangely relating to descriptions of it.
The timeboxes you describe have worked best for me. I put them on my calendar and have the computer go “ping” when it’s time. And there’s always a workout scheduled after work that forces me to stop.
Seems to work well if not better remotely because there’s fewer external distractions to disrupt my timeboxes.
The problem with working late is that it just steals energy from tomorrow. Best to say “Fuck it didn’t get anything done today” and try again.

I will reflexively open a new tab on my browser and auto-complete some distracting website (hello, HN!) 20 times a day. I have about a billion half-finished projects lying around the house. I finally finished some gifts for a friend recently after fiddling with them for over 2 years.
