Oddly I have the reverse issue.

I always focus on one thing at the time, and everything else is frozen. E.g., my full day is frozen if I have an appointment with the dentist at 2pmn. It’s a symptom of ADHD.

And I have been aiming now to force myself to do the reverse. Parallelizing tasks that can.



Wow, I have the same issue that you describe with the dentist appointment thing, but it's the first time I hear someone else describe it. I'm certain I have ADHD, I'm a few months away from professional diagnostic

For adhd the “plan” is more like a Rube Goldberg


You forgot “then a miracle occurs” between steps 1 and 2.
