This post hit me right on the head. I have infuriated colleagues with this type of behaviour. At an old job I got bored with a mildly interesting task that I just could not focus on and the progress fell behind. My boss moved me on to the most boring job on the project thinking I could better handle it and boy did I pull out a 6 hour focused task into 6 weeks of depression and anxiety. I would stare at the same 2 windows for an entire day sinking deeper into unproductive spirals. Ironically HNews might have kept me sane in providing interesting things to read. It’s probably why there are so many ADHD types here. I have discovered now that a “normal” job just doesn’t work for me. I’m going to get weird with it.
