Let’s compare hyperfocus to an actual super power, like the ability to fly:
“I can fly”
“Oh that’s so cool! Can you show me”
“No. I don’t get to decide when it starts”
“Oh”
“Or when it stops for that matter. Or even where I’m going”
“That sounds… debilitating”
“Yes”
This is hyperfocus. You can’t decide when to hyperfocus. Or when it should stop. Or what you’re going to focus on. It is not particularly helpful.
Yeah I think about this one a fair bit.
