        Or the flash of insight about efficiency but it spins off two new tasks where you spend 3 days on one of them and forgetting why you were doing it in the first place because it spun off 10 new tasks again so you are now so far removed from the original tasks you have no idea what is important to work on anymore and then the cycle repeats.

      Are you me?

      Jokes aside, once I got diagnosed with ADHD and got medicated those days are spread pretty far out. It’s pretty nice NGL.

      I still have days like that but it’s no longer like 5+ days a week. It’s more like a couple per month and on those days I still manage to get some stuff done though not everything I needed/wanted.

          If it weren’t for my current insurance I’d be up a creek for sure, there’s absolutely no way I could afford my meds without it. Not even factoring in the cost of the doctors appointments.

          …I was recently asked why I stay in my job if I don’t like it so much. It’s because my health insurance is so good that it makes it absolutely worth it.
