#### [[Deep Work]] --- Deep work to me is focused effort and concentration on something that requires all of one's focus and faculties. Types of work that require lots of abstraction and conceptualization like [[Software Engineering]] are infamously known for requiring deep work. With [[ADHD hyperfocus is a double edged sword of both deep work and avoidance]]. Meaning, that because of the inability to self regulate, individuals with [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder]] are able to *"get lost"* in the [[Deep Work|Flow State]] if what they are engaged with is both interesting and stimulating for them. The product of leveraging one's [[Neurodivergent]] disorder, is a highly productive individual as long the task at hand fits the criteria for what the individual finds stimulating. People with [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder]] performing [[Deep Work]] are essentially a nuclear warhead of effort with the visual field of a sniper scope. Effective but the focal points have to meet specific criteria to trigger this behavior, and if the criteria is not met, then the opposite is likely to occur. Ineffectual working habits, and apathy towards the task at hand. --- Tags: [[Work]] - [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder]] - [[Productivity]] - [[Programming]] Reference: Related: - [[Even hard work can be fun if it is aligned with our intrinsic goals and we feel in control]] - [[Asynchronous Communication]]
