This is a mutual experience that many people can relate to but its mechanics is also core Adhd where this scenario is more extrme and frequent. (Possibly even with important life choices and not just hobbies)
Normalize acknowledging the smaller neurodivergent features that exists in most people as it can help them understand major ones. but do keep it distinct from “everyone has a bit of adhd/autism/anxiety” which is tonedeaf

COMPLETELY unrelated, I have about $800 worth of RC equipment to make my own planes and cars, and haven’t touched it in over a year.
I want to break it out and make use of it to get my money’s worth, but apparently I don’t want to want to…
My 3 year old calligraphy set has only been used twice, and not even for the purpose they were purchased.
I have a really nice set of whittling knives from the time i was passionately experimenting with a borrowed knife.
Guess how much time i have whittled since acquiring that set?
In my defense apparently i missed out on a free tiny whetstone because i bought on a local farmers market rather the amazon page. From this i have convinced myself i need to master knife sharpening and maintenance skills first so i don’t abuse my set.
Soda stream changed my life for 2 weeks.
This reminds me. I got some good quality Atta (Indian whole grain wheat flour) for making Rotis a few weeks ago. Haven’t even opened the packet yet.
Thank you to not speak about my hotdog toaster 😇
