Even just on work stuff, it’s like “Wow I could really be kicking ass on my tasks if I wasn’t in a constant state of bouncing between messages and emails and meetings.”

In my younger days, I would just survive the 9-5 and then get stuff done from like 6-10. So working a 60-hour week, getting 20-hours worth done, and getting paid for 40. Pretty terrible.

I don’t really have a solution though. I just stopped doing the 6-10 part, and am in a constant state of fear that I’m noticeably under-performing. Also terrible. Would not recommend either.

I feel pretty much exactly the same. I never did the catching up outside work hours, because those are not work hours (I have been diagnosed with ASS which is probably where that comes from, having a sensitivity to fairness and justice and all that), so I've pretty much always been under-performing.

At least I'm in the progress of being diagnosed with ADHD now, hope to get some meds that will help with that.

Meds?
