It goes like this : Focus intensely upon your work. Make it awesome. And let everything else go to hell.

          Or you could help me understand what you’re saying. If you can’t be bothered, okay, but it would be nice if you said so.

            I’m describing a way of using attention. To put it entirely in one place and to completely remove it from everything else.

            And then the place where you put your attention blossoms and everything else rots.

              I honestly fail to understand what seems to be so mind-blowing about this for you. I’m genuinely confused. Because it still sounds to me like you’re saying if you focus on the thing you’re doing, it becomes good. Which, yeah? That’s how that usually works? Again, genuinely confused.

                Did I say that it is mind-blowing?

                That 3 problems in a row for you. 2 of them misrepresentation of the words.

                Maybe the problem is on your end. Try thinking about it a bit and then get back to me.

                  It seems to have been a thought you had that you deemed significantly unusual enough to post it in showerthoughts. I’ve been telling you my understanding of your words, under the assumption that I must be misunderstanding something, so you could clarify them for me. Your replies have unfortunately stayed too vague and flowery for me to understand. Carry on.

                    Graciously, I think they’re coming from a place of ADHD and assuming that engineers, artists, and scientists either don’t have ADHD or have the superpower “hyperfocus”.

                    Sadly, hyperfocus is a fickle muse who has chosen not to grace me today. [sobs in ADHD techie]
