The Flow Breakthrough
"Basically, about a year and a half ago, somewhere in the middle of 2024, I was finally able to stop and completely complete the project within a single hyper focus session. This was a game changer for..." ā 2025-10 | Discussing mid-2024 events
Before
- Start project
- Hyperfocus for hours
- Get interrupted or exhausted
- Shift to something else
- Previous project dies
- Repeat forever
- 131 repos, almost nothing shipped
The Shift
Stop fighting the monotropism.
Design projects for single-session completion.
Not "learn to switch better." Not "build discipline."
Accept the tunnel. Work with it.
After
"This was a game changer"
When you stop forcing a monotropic brain to act polytropic, it stops failing at polytropism.
And starts excelling at depth.
The Pattern
Fighting it:
- Many small tasks
- Constant switching
- 0.1% completion rate
- Exhaustion
Working with it:
- One complete arc
- Protected flow time
- Ships
- Energy
