Found a mention about this in a book by the German coach Martin Wehrle (titled: “Bin ich hier der Depp?”), who describe how many aspect of modern work environments can literally make people ill - and often are like designed for that.
ADT, or “Attention Deficit Trait”, is similar to ADHD, but is caused purely by environment - constant interruptions, unrealistic schedules, high pressure, lack of empathic interaction, impossible multi-tasking (a thing that computers can do well, but not humans), neverending stream of notifications by electronic media, addictive-by-design apps, and nagging software and operating systems are what causes it, resulting in an inability to “switch off”.
If one has difficulties correlated with job changes, this might be worth consideration. Myself, a year ago I left a job in a renowned research organization that piled up about 40 parallel urgent projects in the course of five years. The difference has been night and day.
Woah, that is interesting. Always felt that.
I also work in research and the number of tasks running in parallel is honestly too much for me. I am nearly always waiting for responses of other to finish urgent paperwork or proposals, while doing research and some teaching stuff. It is almost impossible to really dive into one of these topics when everything is just done this way.
