My issue with this method of learning is… deadlines. During work time, I often feel that I need to solve something “quick”, which then leads me to usually learn and really deep dive outside of regular work hours instead.

Now, I mostly actually enjoy doing this and thus it has not really limited me. But I wish I could just spend some actual work time on more ‘non adhd-ing’ what I learn.

Have you chatted with your manager about expectations and your personal growth goals?
Yeah, deadlines suck. Historically I managed to "manage the management" into a reasonable rush/cook balance most of the time, which allows for healthy exploration, but that is absolutely "ymmw" thing.
