I don't find it a super power. It's a trade-off. Very often education, health, finance and relationships get pretty damaged by it.

The upside is I don't do shit I don't find incredibly interesting. I'm perfectly happy as long as everything is on my terms.

The downsides have been my chronic inability to engage with anything not immediately interesting to me led me through a decade of very difficult unemployment, wrecking my health, being a terrible parent, and not being a great husband.

Though it's been a benefit to my professional software career, that has been at the expense of my health.
