Can you explain what about is it a gift? What are the benefits you get from it?

When you can align hyperfocus with your most beneficial vector of productivity, it's like you can accomplish anything, in half the time thought possible.

Problem is, there is no good way to direct the hyperfocus demon. It likes what it likes, it wants what it wants, and that's that.

Medication helps to save a pile of willpower/spoons/executive function safely from the demon so that we can get things that need doing done.

I have found both hyperfocus and the ability to quickly "drop" (i.e. distract from) a train of thought incredibly useful.

I would sum it up as an ability to think out of the box, naturally having creative solutions. Which itself is a double-edged sword...
