I cannot risk the possibility of having nothing to do.Ĩ. All of my waking moments need to be filled with something to do or something to think about. When I sense boredom approaching, I look for something new and stimulating, rather than accept the idea of being bored. I’m always looking for highly stimulating activities that keep my adrenaline flowing. I become bored with activities, conversations and situations that do not interest me. We cannot tolerate boredom and are always looking for something to do.
I’m inclined to start a project the night before it is due, stay up all night to finish it, and be totally burned out the next day.ħ. Only in times of hyperfocus can I actually get something accomplished. I allow piles of work to accumulate because I can’t get organized. This enables me to hyperfocus, so that I can complete the task on time. I use deadlines as a way to create panic and chaos. I put things off until the last minute, but the last-minute adrenaline rush makes the task possible, more interesting, and stimulating. We are procrastinators and have trouble getting started or feeling motivated. Sometimes I forget to say hello or goodbye, and others accuse me of being rude.Ħ. I prefer not to be noticed, because I’m afraid I will say the wrong thing. I feel uncomfortable in group activities where social interaction is required. I get bored easily and have a hard time listening to others. My inability to stay focused in the present moment gives others the impression that I don’t care. I tend to be critical of my performance, even if others compliment me for a job well done.ĥ. In school I was called an underachiever, and that message still affects me today. In spite of my accomplishments and a satisfying relationship, I find it difficult to feel happy and fulfilled. I feel like a failure and view success as something that only others achieve. Whether I am highly accomplished or floundering, I feel incapable of realizing my true potential. We have a strong sense of underachievement and always feel that we fail to live up to our potential. My favorite game is looking for “hole shots” and creating my own car race.Ĥ.
#ADD HYPERFOCUS DRIVER#
I am an aggressive driver and love to weave in and out of traffic.
#ADD HYPERFOCUS TV#
I channel-surf with the TV remote control and find it hard to relax. I’m always looking for a way to release my excess energy. I drum my fingers, twist my hair, pace, shift positions while seated, or leave the room frequently. I usually feel edgy and am always “on the go.” My insides are constantly churning.
#ADD HYPERFOCUS FULL#
We are restless, often hyperactive, and full of nervous energy. The worst part is having to justify my actions.ģ. I buy things I don’t need, and then wonder where all my money went.
I make decisions, commitments, purchases, even major life changes without adequately considering the consequences. This creates problems in my personal and business life. I jump to conclusions before analyzing all the facts. I make plans without consulting my family, and then wonder why they don’t share my enthusiasm. We are impulsive, and we make hasty decisions without considering the consequences.
I eventually finish the kitchen, but it takes me a while.Ģ. I set out to clean the kitchen, and often find myself reading a cookbook and deciding to try a new recipe. When I least expect it, my brain changes channels, and I respond to the beat of another drum.Īlthough I can hyperfocus a times, I am more often distracted, and have difficulty staying on target.Īt times I feel scattered and confused, like iron shavings attracted by competing magnetic fields. It is a struggle for me to stay focused or centered. We have a tendency to tune out or drift away. We are easily distracted and have difficulty paying attention.
