Pretty much what the title says. Also, how long does it usually last for when it happens?

Pretty much daily, but I don't have much control on what I hyperfocus on. Sometimes I get lucky and do all my work for the week in a sitting. Other times I spend the whole day writing a single email ๐Ÿ˜“

Anytime there's something I don't actually need to do + something I do need to do

Lasts one to four hours, I guess? Kind of hard to tell if it's hyperfocus or time blindness for durations under two hours.

At work, one or two times a week, though the distinction between hyperfocus and flow state is a bit squiffy there. At home, maybe three to five times a week, usually while playing videogames but sometimes while doing yardwork.
