The closer I get to a deadline the more common it gets and the easier I seem to get distracted. Tell yer what I dislike more though Ull,s. I hate when I finish writing for the day but just can't stop thinking about it. I try to finish by 6, but I'm often still stuck thinking about it til 8-9 at night, ruins me |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Bane of my life, but also, in a way, my superpower. The main part of my job is coming up with ideas, and they can come at any time, morning, noon and night (even whilst at PR in the middle of a match). I tend to think of it as mental illness I've somehow managed to monetise! |  |

I think that's how a lot of creatives operate. I was in my office until about 1.30am last night before I went home, as I was a lot more productive than during normal hours yesterday. |  |

I know what you mean, my work is pretty theoretical and I guess sorta creative. Though I dislike not being able to turn it off, a lot of my better thoughts and odd bits of clarity happen during that time. I keep a notebook near me so can scribble down my mad ramblings at all times. ( usually then check them for sanity in the morning). Think monetising a mental illness is quite an interesting way of putting it. |  | |  |

Indeed. If you're hot, don't leave your desk till you're not. Our brains don't understand the concept of 9-5. Talking of which, the series '...Explained' on Netflix is very good, watched one on time last night. Without external stimuli (like clocks, the sun etc.) we don't have a clue what the time is. Bloke experimented by living in a cave and tried to figure out how long he'd been there. One one occasion he celebrated New Year on Jan 4th, and on another attempt he lost an entire month! |  |

But isnt that dangerous? If you are hot you might have an something like Covid and surely with a temperature like that should be at home isolating? [Post edited 18 Mar 2022 12:22]

Any other fruit loops ever get this? on 12:38 - Mar 18 with 1126 views | J2BLUE | Is it something you can do in 15 minute chunks? Even that, with 15 mins of messing around time in between would be better than nothing. I give myself little rewards. One hour of work, then I will do Wordle. Another hour, then I will have 5 mins on TWTD. Another hour and I will read the news for 5 mins. Etc. |  |

Are you ok, Keno? I've noticed some very uncharacteristic errors in your correspondence this afternoon - do you need a poo or something? |  |
