Ironically, I had to design and present a Time Management course for my colleagues once. I could understand the hypothetical process, I just can’t do it!
can you tell me how it went?
It actually went well! Thinking about it again today made think that my (unknown at the time) aspie bluntness helped out. I told them that if someone interrupted them to chat while they were busy, it was okay to tell the interruptor to go away. Most people seemed surprised to learn that that was an option. I was a technical trainer for a number of years and then an investigator and a love of analysis and being able to lay information out at its simplest helped.
it sounds like you were able to find an appropriate niche for yourself.

By complete accident I did. I’ve been retired from that life for ten years now and my mind still misses it. Body couldn’t handle a five day work week.

Yes it is! I do some part time work but only an hour or two at a time. I live in a rural village. No more rush hour commute
