    You’re underestimating the ADHD hyper focus duration. As long as the problem is interesting, ADHD people can hyper focus on one problem and only that problem for days/weeks at a time until they solve it, or the problem gets boring, or they find a different shiny thing. Creating/inventing a jade stone tool is exciting. You can spend days trying to make it just perfect, finding ways to sharpen it that others don’t know; that’s an ADHD person’s cup of tea. However once you make the first tool, it’s no longer interesting. You move on to hyper focus on something else.
