Download more RAM. My working memory is shit (ADHD).

I thought the issue there was the processor not being able to run a single core long enough.

Or maybe it's just how the operating system works?

Have you tried Linux? I use Arch btw.

If I had to liken ADHD to computer terms, I think I would blame a faulty task scheduler. That's what issues the threads to the CPU. When Ryzen came out and also when Intel moved to Performance and Efficiency cores there were issues with efficient task scheduling.

You will just be more (less?) Efficient and being efficient.

I might be a little obsessed with efficiency. Possibly due to my issues making me inefficient by nature, I tend to seek efficiency wherever I can, like some mirage in the desert of my mind.

Did I write this comment? I used to think I just did my best to deliberately waste as little time as possible to balance out all the time I waste involuntarily. Now I realize that I just can't tolerate being idle, so the moment I initiate some automated process that will take more than a few seconds to complete, I start yet another task while waiting. This looks a hell of a lot more efficient on paper than it does in reality, though...
