Sometimes I'm trying to fix a bug for 20 mins but it's actually been 6 hrs

We just completed the first 1.5h of a 4h meeting block

Kill me 🥲

If it's tedious, this, if it's interesting, now I've wasted the whole day and have ro work overtime to get to the tedious stuff.

I just don’t understand time.

I’ve recently started using a timer to measure my progress with a recurring 15-minute task and it legit skips 5 minutes every now and then, when I’m not looking.

Another weird thing is with a different recurring task which I’ve measured. I use the stopwatch for the first part and a countdown timer for the second part. It takes in total an hour according to the measurement, but the wall clock says it takes three hours.

Obviously it’s my perception of time that is messed up. But somehow it affects my use of stopwatches and timers as well. I don’t get it.

I just convince myself that I'm so efficient that I've actually done 8 hours of work load, and call it the day.

Considering how much work I've seen colleagues do in an entire day, 20 mins of work at ADHD pace probably about covers 8 hours.

I had a morning meeting. So that means I need to rest the next 6h and panic think of doing something around 6pm...
