I have found both hyperfocus and the ability to quickly "drop" (i.e. distract from) a train of thought incredibly useful.

Hyperfocus is great until it's not.

People with ADHD have "time blindness"; we don't process time the same way most people do.

We often don't realize 3 or 4 hours have passed and there were other things we needed to get done.
