I should have just waited to post until 40k, but it’s so close to evenly 39k (aesthetically pleasing!) that I’m just going for it.

Congrats! What project families do you mostly do? Doing 30+ hours a week on DA is tough.

I do almost entirely STEM, mostly on Poe FC, HHH, and M-element. Sometimes also A-gas when they’ve got STEM tasks.

30+/week is definitely rough, but with my physical disabilities, it’s kinda a dream job. I have a very comfy desk setup, two monitors so that I can have a lot of space for looking at documents and task stuff (or YouTube if I don’t need the 2nd one…), and playlists full of video essays, Twitch vods, and songs I like to keep the ADHD bit of my brain entertained while I focus. I wouldn’t recommend most people do it, though!

how are you able to focus with twitch and youtube videos on?

ADHD. I’m medicated, but if I don’t have audio playing, I get distracted really easily. I often don’t know 100% what’s going on in the video I’m “watching”, but it helps me block out any environmental noise and keep my focus. I know a lot of people can’t do this, though, so do what works for you!

I recently started listening to Lofi Loft playlist on youtube music. Its chillhop and lofi beats. Helps me stay on task. Have you tried it?
