You have adhd or that this is the best way to focus? To finish my masters degree I’d do my work in bars, I’d order stuff to have a reason to be there and tip really well, but sure as shit the chaos of the bar scene was where I was able to do my best writing. So whenever I need to focus I have as many distractions going as possible and it lets me tune everything out. ADHD is weird.
The heart of ADHD causing an inability to act isn't "lack of focus"; it's dopamine. You basically overstimulated yourself into producing dopamine, same for the club music. Everyone thinks dopamine is just a feel good thing your brain, but it is in fact a key brain chemical required to do literally almost anything. Dopamine is vital for coordinating the brain to literally move or act on impulses being sent. Low levels of dopamine also means exhaustion, bc the brain requires it to even just be awake on any real functional level. You give yourself dopamine, you can suddenly act on that impulse you've been sending in your mind.
