Neurodivergent? I am lol and this resonates. I write a lot more now that I have an ereader (that can also be a notebook!) I get it out rather than my phone sometimes and there's less distraction on it. It's either read, write or browse the bookstore ๐Ÿ˜…

Reminds me of the days I wasted my whole afternoons on Wikipedia while at work.

https://lichess.org/ is great even on a computer, not just on a phone. I don't play on my phone, but I do like to play from time to time on lichess :)

I think you have ADHD, right?

Officially, no. I only have Depression and Anxiety.
