I love hyperfocus.
"I'll just spend an hour on this..."
10 hours and 47 minutes later...
✔ Finished the work and the work that comes after the work
✔ Solved three unrelated problems
✔ Improved a system nobody asked me to improve
✔ Forgot to drink water
✔ Accidentally skipped lunch
✔ Still convinced I'm nearly finished
In my defence, it felt like two hours.
Time didn't just fly.
It resigned, changed its phone number, and blocked me.
Truthfully, that's why I love hyperfocus.
It's where I feel most like myself.
Give me a problem that's frustrating someone, a system that's making life harder than it needs to be, or an idea with potential, and I'll happily disappear into it for hours.
Whether it's improving a process, building something useful, or helping someone overcome a challenge, that's where I do my best work.
Apparently, the trade-off is forgetting I'm a human being with biological requirements. 😅
Anyone else ever look at the clock and think:
"Well... that escalated quickly?" 😂
