Hyperfocus: The ADHD Superpower
In a world filled with distractions, the ability to focus intently on a task is both a gift and a challenge. As someone who has navigated the complexities of life with ADD, I’ve often found myself in a state of Hyperfocus. This phenomenon, where someone can become completely absorbed in an activity, has been both a source of productivity and a double-edged sword in my daily life.
I vividly recall these moments, like the time I spent hours immersed in researching background information for an article I was writing. The outside world faded away, and all that mattered was the information flowing before me. I experienced a surge of creativity, generating more ideas that felt groundbreaking and profound. However, this intense focus often came at a cost. Days would pass where I neglected my social life, leaving friends concerned and questioning why I didn’t met them so often anymore.
