Understanding Hyper Focus and Its Aftermath
Hyper focus can lead to exceptionally productive days when tasks, especially around the house, are completed in a flurry of activity. This spontaneous energy surge is often triggered by upcoming deadlines or events, generating a dopamine rush that feels rewarding at the moment. However, this approach can lead to an inevitable crash, as the energy expended in a single day of frantic cleaning is equivalent to daily tasks spread out over a week. Consequently, people frequently find themselves back at square one shortly after experiencing this intense productivity.
