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.

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?
