Title really. I don’t think I will ever have a traditional career (or path) because there are just too many things I want to do. Anyone with ADHD knows i’m sure, that when you even have so much as a few household chores to do, it can take you ages to even start. My problem kind of extends beyond the scope of little things, I seem to want so much out of life that it leaves me not wanting to do anything at all because it feels overbearing. I never finished college or chose a career because of this too, sometimes I get a goal in my head so it becomes my focus for some months then i get burnt out and move on to something else and it repeats in a circle.
Anyone else have a dusty box of arduinos and misc components they are absolutely 100% definitely going to make something cool with?
I have a handful of Raspberry PIs collecting dust. I think I told my wife I’d do something cool and automated 1.5 years ago and…well…yeah.
Run Tailscale on it and transform it in your own personal VPN ;)
Pi hole looking nice now with plugins breaking.
Im not ADHD diagnosed. My hobbies last 2 weeks. I have not held a hobby for more than a month or so. I too burn out, or it’s just not interesting, or I just don’t have the commitment to get good at it. I want to do many things, but they always feel like work, rather than fun.
The only thing that stuck is programming, so I went to school to get better at it, got better at it, but now can’t find a job.
I feel you. I assume people with better management skills are able to triage tasks and goals in advance but I just let life filter out what I can’t get done. But this makes me feel super anxious, disappointed and guilty all the time.
