Having both an extremely enjoyable and fulfilling job, as well as having a long sabbatical that same year, fucking around can honestly get boring real fast.
All those ADHD traits pile up real fast and I honestly felt worse day-to-day than I did working absurd hours at a job I really like. There’s a balance, but honestly having fulfilling structured work to fill at least part of the day is super important. I’ve personally noticed that I tend to go a bit batty even if work is slow and I’ve not got much to do, so having that bit of structure really helps.
You just described my last 2 jobs before I quit and became much happier even tho I was unemployed.
Work is stupid. We should be working 20 hours weeks and fucking around the rest of the time. Everyone would be so much happier.
Or maybe everyone with ADHD (and, this, 80 gagillion hobbies)
