Forgive the throwaway but I'm opening up for the first time about this...
I used to be able to set myself a task and focus on it until I finished. I could imagine a product and build an MVP in a weekend, flesh it out in a month and launch it. Now I can't focus on my tasks for more than a few minutes, I'm constantly context switching, procrastination is killing all productivity even for tasks that I was looking forward to. Today I wanted to really knuckle down and make some real progress on my side project. I've updated my iPad, fixed the leg on a tripod, cut the grass, cleaned the mower, scrubbed the driveway. Guess how much progress I made on the side project?
I talked to my GP - she said it could be undiagnosed ADHD, I filled in a quiz she gave me but she said it will take 2 years to get diagnosed(!) I can't wait that long.
How do I get back to how I used to be? Focused, driven, talented? I feel like part of me has rotted away and I want it back!
