That sounds very familiar. As someone with ADHD when I get hyperfocused I can completely loose track of time. It’s a large part of why many ADHDers struggle with being on time to things.

However it can be great for getting into the flow programming.

The group of ADHDers that can be on time on the other hand will often accomplish this by spending the time up to an appointment doing nothing but worrying about being on time.


I frequently join a meeting 30m+ in advance just so I won't invariable be late when I get hyper-focused on something.
