Man, I feel like I'd have less problems if more learning content labelled the important parts that damn well. It might be because I'm in my 30s, but I can force myself to focus for short periods that I otherwise wouldn't as long as I'm medicated.
I feel like half my struggle is figuring out how a specific teacher/course/piece of reference material expects you to learn from/use it.
I've got a bunch of fidget toys on my desks to keep me engaged while I'm in online meetings. Otherwise my mind wanders and it gets embarrassing when someone asks what I think, and I have to say I wasn't listening to a thing they said.

I yearn for communal labor. I want to live reasonably comfortably doing meaningful work with my hands but also be able to yap the whole time. Free me

It's like a mariachi band in my head.
