Zenkitty,
I got nothing for you except to use the pomodoro technique. That always helps me out when I my concentration is fucked.
25 minutes on task, 5 min break. If that is too much, try 10 minutes as a warm up.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Zen, would podcasts help at all? Sounds weird, but when I HAVE TO focus on something, but JUST CAN'T FOCUS, sometimes putting on a podcast helps distract my brain enough that the part that's BORED with the doc I'm proofing (or whatever) is engaged, and the leftover part can keep reading. (Recommended by an also-ADD-friend, though she uses audiobooks. I'm cheaper than her and podcasts are free).

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I endorse both the timer and podcast methods, and sometimes use them simultaneously.
David, that is super nice of you to offer to send stuff to Steph's brother.
Morgana, I think I already wished you ~ma? It's hard for me to remember posting on the iPhone on short breaks. If I didn't, then I wish you lots of kidney~ma. If I did, well, a little more never hurt.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Theme for what?
Delectable kinky sexual fantasies.

I'm worried about him!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
But I'm willing to send you an elaborately baroque Cirque De Soleil theme with asshooks if that would help. That's the kind of help I can offer.
Oh, thanks, that's great, my mind took the suggestion and ran with it. Now I have an entire Cirque du Soleil performance involving people spinning on asshooks playing in my head.

That's a real thing, right? Doesn't just happen to me, then.
omnis, I offer you a virtual neckrub.
Timer method not working, it's just annoying me. I have Ghost Hunters reruns playing off the DVR, which is my version of podcasts, usually that helps me focus, but not today.
Part of the problem is the sheer overwhelming amount of work. (My boss has decided we have to do a Project that will take two days out of my already-tight schedule.) A large amount of work makes me dive in and get it done. An impossible amount of work makes me say fuck it and wander off to do something else.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Theme for what?
I'm hoping for Rubbery Figures.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I just want to sprawl on my sofa and watch a Sherlock rerun.
Just noting that this sounds lovely even with no medications to speak of.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Delectable kinky sexual fantasies.
No, I mean what kind of theme? A theme for Windows? A theme song? A theme for a tumblr?

I was thinking more of a set of visual motifs and tropes for the fantasy. Starting with brightly attired acrobats and asshooks. But you know, Fuckyeahcircusasshooks could make a good tumblr.
