For me first time I noticed problems with energy and performance I went to a doctor and they had me tested for sleep apnea, first day after putting myself on a CPAP was day and night difference.
Last year I found myself spend a lot of time hoarding tasks to do at work, but less to work on them. It’s causing constant anxiety, and the anxiety is driving me to take more tasks, making promises that’s gonna be missed. Once I felt it’s such vicious circle I went to a doctor and after many visits and tests, they finally decided that I have ADHD and prescribed me some non-stimulant meds, it took about 12 weeks for the side effects to wear off and finally start working.
Looking back I feel like ADHD might be occupational hazard for some. Or just a result of bad habits? I personally was switching context very often, like 15 minutes on a project in python, then switched to another one on Go. Also I’m the yes man at work. Now I just slot half a day fixated on only one project, and use the “focus time” feature on my calendar (blocks chat etc).
