Sometimes, it’s worse for me: When I get the motivation kick at night, I think: Well, no point doing it NOW, it’s time to sleep soon. Then I dance and smile through the dopamine rush, imagining all the things I’ll do tomorrow.

Coworkers are puzzled why you are sometimes a smelly, grumpy mess. This is probably how daily shower makes it into “productivity advice”.

This is going to be wilder than I thought. 12 hours in, still legs shaking and eyes wide open. I even made a fruit and raw veggie plate instead of binge eating candy at night, omg!

I feel like a raver with a plate of apple slices.

Plus side: Still killing it with the todos.

Neurotypicals think they have this superior discipline and attitude to “get on the task”, and I believed them, too! Now, medicated, I realise that they only work on these constant dopamine micro rewards in their prefrontal cortex. Which I now get, too.
