I study computer science and any time I sit down to code, I just browse or watch Youtube. Anything but do the work. Days and even months have gone by like this where I haven't done even an hour of learning. Its tough because in order to code I need to be in front of a screen but my brain refuses to study and just looks for that dopamine hit. My grades have suffered and I feel like a constant failure.
To clarify this is not an effect of the pandemic but has been happening for the past few years.
I smoked a lot of weed and would work really slowly in the weed tunnel vision. Sometimes I'd get adhd meds from friends.
Nowadays, i only get things done when my ADHD hyperfocus kicks in. Today I think I'm going to put up a shelf.
Oh yeah, it's hyperfocus time. 😎
