    I leverage hyperfixation at work. To me, it feels like a superpower. To everyone else, it’s just really hard to get my attention.

        I’m either invested in the project, or my unhealthy fear of failure fuels the anxiety that forces hyperfocus. I don’t recommend the latter if you can avoid it. It’s exhausting.

          Yeah, kind of like how adrenaline can let a person ignore a serious injury for a little while, there’s always a brick wall on that road.
