    This is kind of how I treat hobbies. I don’t start learning Spanish to be able to speak Spanish for instance, like obviously you might get there. So for me it’s all about the journey and if I get bored and move on to something else that isn’t failure that’s chasing your curiosities and being open to try new things.

    Also ADHD helps.

      Haha, absolutely with the ADHD. I’m tempted to put a sign on all the shit I constructed this summer that says “the house that adderall built” or something like that, lol.

      It also helps to have multiple projects going, as long as you keep it to a manageable number. Nothing like making progress on hobby project B to procrastinate on hobby project A because you aren’t feeling that one today.
