@Mespotine Generally, my hyperfocus has a context that has built up around it. If I've been working on it from a computer, I'll close out everything related to the focus. If it's music or some other craft, I'll completely put up everything related to that. The amount of effort required to set back up is usually enough to break the chain and let me do something else.

@Mespotine i can stop myself often, mostly because im older now....when i was younger, it was a lot more difficult as i had much *MUCH* more energy and staying up for 24-48 hours working on one thing was something that happened often and without issue. best thing is to create a schedule, set alarms, and learn to listen to your body when it tells you it needs to pee, eat, drink water, and sleep.

@Mespotine I use pomodoro. But first, I must understand what I'm doing. It's not easy. At work and for house cleaning, it's great. It's not perfect. Many times, I'm not aware when I get into a hyperfocus.

@Mespotine Internalizing "All of this will still be there tomorrow" is a major thing that has helped in consciously being able to close/put away everything related to it for the day and moving to a different room to do other things. The process of leaving the room helps tremendously, too. The surrounding issues are noticing that it is happening in the first place, instead of looking at the clock and going "Oh fuck how is it 3AM". My life revolving around gentle alarms and notifications around "transition times" like, time to get ready for bed, time to eat etc, has also helped in easing this.
