Coupled with some mild tism I also have sensory sensitivity. Small or aggravating noises can completely derail my drive and focus. Given that, noise canceling headphones and white noise/brown noise (and even deeper versions like cosmic noise) can allow me to go beyond hyper focus on certain tasks. I one time was able to transfer a few hundred lines/numbers from a handwritten spreadsheet into excel in like half an hour.
