Missing the dip before the meeting where you have to prepare for the meeting.
Or the anxiety of what the meeting will be about that spans the entire morning beforehand.
Or keeping half your attention on the clock to leave at the right time
The more I see ADHD shitposts, the more I think I have it.
This isn’t adhd it is the legit flow from after a bullshit meeting. Then by the time you get ramped back up again it’s the next meeting.
My only gripe to the chart is there should be some flat lining down near the bottom on the productivity side as a buffer pre and post. You spend time doing nothing wondering why you need to attend during pre-meeting time then during post-meeting time, doing nothing thinking about how you weren’t necessary at that meeting. Then you begin the accel ramping.
This is great, also if you haven’t read it, you should read Makers Schedule, Managers Schedule by Paul Graham, it really helped me describe this concept to all of the managers I have had hah.
I typically have 8-10 meetings a day. I try to either have 60-90 min in the morning and/or 60-90 at the end of the day for focus time… Unfortunately the end of day sometimes gets nuked because I am fried from all of the meetings
What is your job? If those meetings are just 30 minutes that’s already 5 hours.

As someone with ADHD zero work gets done until the meeting. It’s just waiting and stressing about missing the time.
