Hyperfocus: How to Be More Productive in a World of Distraction
by Chris Bailey
challenging
informative
fast-paced
As a person with ADHD, I was mostly intrigued by how the author had taken the idea of ADHD hyperfocus and translated it into advice for neurotypical people.
It was also a fascinating insight into the neurotypical brain.
There are some useful tips in there. While he does acknowledge that hyperfocus is a neurodrivergent trait, the discussion feels reductive and is in a small footnote.
I hope no one comes away from this thinking hyperfocus (in the real neurodrivergent sense) is something that can be intentionally triggered.
That said, there are some focus and productivity tips I have taken away from this and hope to continue to use in the future.
