I’ve accepted that I’m a high performer generally but occasionally just get stuck in a lull where I can’t do anything. My super power is realizing it’s better to just take a nap or go for a stroll when I’m not going to be productive anyways.
As someone with ADHD who has been a developer, a manager, an architect, and a tech lead… I give you permission. It’ll actually make you more productive and make work suck less.
I totally agree that it takes effort to train yourself out of the “Don’t be lazy” shame from growing up though.

I’m still working on this one
I’ve gotten a lot better at it but damn do I have room for improvement (I need to dodge “nap mode” more often IMO)
I’d say I’m about 60% successful at it currently
