Can we talk for a minute about how capitalism makes people with ADHD less productive.
(I'm assuming this is an ADHD thing anyway and not just a me thing)
I struggle to tidy my room a lot but when I do I tend to use musical soundtracks to keep my brain engaged on something other than what I'm doing.
Unfortunately most music streaming sites require you to pay to be ad free, which disrupts the flow and productivity.
I just got a new laptop recently that has a disc drive so instead of streaming music I've used CD's and both the time I used Warriors, and currently at Hadestown intermission, I've noticed I've took less and shorter breaks then I would if I was using probably YouTube to listen to them.
When my music is being constantly interrupted I'm broken out of the flow and decide to go on my phone for a bit cause "there's ads anyway right now", but since there's been no breaks in music yeah I've still occasionally stopped what I'm doing to check notifications and have a quick scroll, but nowhere near to the same extent.
It's literally the fact that I refuse to pay money to listen to music that I end up stopping tidying midway through.
