Recently I’ve been talking to people saying that I feel very distracted and my applied focus is probably about 10% at best… but then they look at me…
Then they say it… erm… your 10% is probably more like a normal person’s 110%… normal person…?
Obviously they don’t mean anything negative by this. Basically they’re saying that when someone can hyper-focus… and operate in turbo mode… normal speed can feel slow… but it isn’t really.
The other day when operating at 10%, I casually built a DSAR (data subject access request) management app… it does the whole process… extraction of Purview PST files… redacting and case file generation…
It’s not the first time I’ve done something like this, the more I think about it… I probably do it all the time…
I guess the point of this is… just because you think you’re not getting things done because you feel drained or just not 100% on the ball… you’re probably still doing a lot more than you think.
