I suffer from the same. I work in finance & love it so I hyperfocus on it at the expense of friends, eating, sleep, etc. I too am still searching for ways to manage it, but it's tough because there are times, epecially because of my high productivity and ability to get things done at work, that I'm quite pleased with my hyperfocus. It's only when I stop and realize I haven't seen my friends for months, and I'm 45 and still single that I realize the dark side of hyperfocus and my real lack of control over it. It can be very seductive when you are in the midst of it :( Great article! I suffer from the same.
