MODERATORS
In my experience it is still possible, and you can even get a bit more control as to what you hyperfocus on.
that’s awesome. if that’s true I’m sold. I spend a lot of cpu cycles trying to figure out ways to flip that switch on.
It's true, at least for me. I can actually control the focus now instead of digging down a rabbithole of for 6 hours at 3am.
If I'm going down that rabbithole now, it's because I want to.
The downside is that the adverse effects of the meds can prevent you from being able to do much, so its about finding just the right dosage for your body.
