summary
ADHD correlates with delayed prefrontal cortex development and lower dopamine so focus is harder to sustain, not absent, and common fixes fail for different reasons: pomodoros fragment flow, bullet journals become projects, crunch raises error rates and junior doctors after 18 hours equal drunk driving. Practical moves include controlling light and temperature, enforcing routines, using async Slack channels and Geekbot, removing interruptions (literally unplug the phones box), and office changes that matter — 86 minutes a day lost and 95% say privacy is important
