#72: Hyperfocus or Hyperstress?
Episode Notes
In this conversation, Matteo Casini and Dr. Caroline Böttiger explore the tension between hyperfocus and hyperstress at work, with a particular lens on ADHD.
They discuss how people can move between these states, why they’re often confused with healthy flow, and how stress-driven productivity can undermine creativity and well-being.
The conversation points to the role workplaces play in creating conditions that support sustainable focus, rather than relying on constant intensity.
