That’s because work is for doing things, and home is for not doing things.
I learned that to stretch my ability to work at home I have to stay in gross work clothes that I can’t put on the couch or bed.
Once I shower, no more effort, no more worky.
also keep some shoes on while working
I make my lights a bit higher temperature. Still not the vile 5000 K nonsense usually put in offices though more like 3500 vs the usual 2200.
I really like this idea. Can’t wait to spend the entire weekend programming home assistant and then never using it again, again…
I think people find adhd (or any other mental thing, from autism to depression) hard to understand because they see this and think “oh, it happens to me too!” (Once, five years ago, during an objectively identifiable bad spell) So they think that whatever worked for them should also work for everyone else.
The “I’m gonna get my life together so I don’t have to work this shitty job” to “I’m exhausted, I’ll do it tomorrow” pipeline does seem like a pretty commonplace experience, including NT folks, even if the adhd experience of executive dysfunction is different and the strategies that NT people employ to break the cycle don’t work for them. I think this just isn’t a great example because it manifests in a way that sounds familiar to most everyone.
I woke up a bit early this morning five hours ago and have accomplished zero things that need to be done today.
Average Saturday.
