I feel the same way. I’m starting to seriously think I have ADHD, which might be something to look into. I’m also looking at getting into video content creation - specifically, educational computer science videos.

I’m still figuring it all out, but so far I’ve found two things that seem to help: Scheduling my time as much as possible (I use Google Calendar, with reminders and alerts so I don’t forget), and breaking tasks down into sub-tasks that I can “finish” in an hour or so.

I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread for more tips though, as this is something that frustrates me to no end.

The trick to content creation in theory is to create content - even if it’s bad, just get started and eventually the quality stuff will follow. “The perfect is the enemy of the good.”

That said, I haven’t made a single educational video, so take anything I say with a huge grain of salt. I very much get hung up on “the perfect” even when I know I shouldn’t.

As for programming, generally speaking, I would recommend learning Python. It’s a very forgiving language that gives results quickly, but can also be used to do pretty much anything.

IDK much about how ADHD works, but I have the kind that means I can’t not focus on something I get interested in, and I really struggle to focus on anything else. It’s great for learning, because I can stick at it for hours upon hours without a break, but it’s terrible for getting work reports out on time.

That’s actually a symptom of adhd in general. The two main differentiators seem to be inattentive or compulsive, or a combo of the two (I have the combo). Hyperfocus sucks as much as you describe because sometimes it’ll end up being 3 AM and you know you needed to go to sleep hours ago, but you really just need to understand everything about penguins and why they have knees.
