Which is a bit tragic for someone like me who lives in a place where I hardly know anyone and is desperate to talk to the other people sitting alone in the cafe
Give me a deadline in six months and I'll procrastinate for at least five of them, feeling terrible about it throughout. Give me an impossible deadline tomorrow and I become a productivity machine, with no time for anxious overthinking.
This is also a result of different dopamine and other neurotransmitter function in folks with ADHD, not just anxious overthinking. With a deadline 6 months away, the dopamine reward to work on it doesn't work like in normal people. While, say doing something in a video game that triggers dopamine release reward which motivates action.
That's like how LLMs help me with software development. I don't work less, instead I produce more and what I produce is of greater benefit to my clients.
