Let’s be real… telling everyone goes before actually starting it
you all have someone to talk to about your projects?
My wife. She often has no idea what I’m talking about but she listens patiently and at least looks like she’s interested. I appreciate her for that.
Getting all that dopamine of a theoretical finished product, so you have no motivation to actually build the product. /cries in ADHD
Apparently, the dopamine rush of telling someone about your project, you going back to school, you getting healthy, improving yourself, etc is so strong it’s basically pre-rewarding you for it. The result is scientifically-documented drops in people following-through and achieving their goals… You want to succeed? Don’t tell anyone until you’re already almost there!
All I see is that this cycle is more efficient.
No, seriously, i am working on it!

You can put this on the ADHDmemes community too and it will fit just as well.
Well I’m triggered
Tbh at the moment I just have an idea, tell everyone about it, and I have no energy for it for 2 weeks and forget about it. It’s more frustrating because you don’t even get the satisfaction of starting anything and seeing the early rapid progress before ditching it
Looks like me ye indeed
This is fine. Projects that require specialized skills can require that you get heavily invested before you discover the implications, scope and yeah your own lasting interest.
