💡 Hyperfocus as a #Neurodivergent EdD researcher:
✍️ 2,000+ words in one go
🕰️ Forgetting to eat, move, rest
🔄 Burnout follows intense focus
🧃 Need time to recover
🧩 Can’t switch tasks once I’m “locked in”

Anyone else experience this? How does it show up for you?

I have just submitted my intention to submit my thesis for September this year. It’s starting to feel very close to the end of my doctorate!

Back to my EdD today. Still very ill, but this gives me something to do during the day.

Tidying up some work towards my literature review and making those incremental steps make a big difference in the long run!

I feel like I've made some progress on the methodology chapter.

Added in a new diagram and have been working on improving my methods section.

I got some feedback on my methodology chapter. But, I'm going to wait till Monday to action it.

Otherwise I'll be overthinking it all weekend! 😂

I am currently working on implementing time-management strategies to improve my efficiency in writing my thesis.

Let me know any tips you may have for this?

I tried to do some of my literature review but my head hurt too much from having a cold 😔

Has the Neurodivergent/Neurodiversity Community moved to BlueSky from Twitter/X?

What are your main reasons for doing so?
