So i get many ideas but i never do them and my interests change everyday which can be annoying.
Today my interest is some sort of video creation like maybe doing something on odysee or youtube but idk i hav eno ideas beyound that. i dont want to show my face or voice either becasue i just dont.
sorry i went offtopic, i really need a hobby or somethign also i start consoling next week. if someone has an idea on how to stay on track let me know becasue i think im getting someone with the idea of video creation?
also sorry about spelling…
You’re not entirely alone, I swap between games/projects/interests on a bi-daily or weekly basis unless something keeps me anchored. It’s very unproductive.
I have lots of interests, and my obsessions change every few weeks. Try to complete a single small task for your current obsession, the most basic of basic things. It’s fine to have a curious mind, but it’s also good to train yourself in success, and the best way to do that is to have some tiny success that encourages you
what are some tiny example because i tend to dream big to say, and i want money and having both those things happen at the same time can be annoying, like i want to do something but also money.
If you have more than one thing and you need to concentrate on them more, try something like timeboxing. Basically, schedule out your day, and steel yourself to follow that schedule. Today, you might play video games for an hour, then for the next 2 hours, you dedicate that time to video editing/creation. The goal is, you never spend more time than you’ve boxed on the one thing, and you don’t distract yourself during that time with other activities, because you’ve set this time aside for whatever you’re doing.
Everything starts small. Upload a video of something random to Odysee. That’s a whole thing in itself, you gotta make an account etc etc.
Yay, now you know how to upload videos!
Find an example of something you could make a video on. This will take some effort, but it’s another achievement.
Keep going like that. Set your goals to be doing tiny steps.
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.
I might also have adhd because i just can never focuse, also do you have any tips for content creation or should i just do whatever becasue i feel so confused and im a bit scared. ive also wante dto make a game but i cant code for the life of me, its just too complex and i tend to want things now.
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.
as someone currently looking into combo ADHD “tips” / helpful info, who is currently writing this at 3:30am and who needed to go to sleep hours ago, I feel this on a personal level…
also, TIL
:]
I’m the same. So many different ideas and interests pop up, and I have so many that I never really focus on one.
it is quite annoying feeling this way, i must sat like right now i want to make a video but idk what to record or if i use my voice or not, i was thinking gaming but my pc is low end and my space is noisy (it gets hot so i have a bunch of fans and ac going).
I used to play games a lot but I’ve recently been so unfocused that I usually just buy a game, play it for 2-3 hours, quit, look for a new game, repeat. It’s tiring 😩
I had the same problem, it’s real hard to find a game that actually can hold my attention. Recently, I’ve found 2. Bayonetta, and Inscryption. Both really good, only one has boobs though. The other is a horror based card game which sounds kinda wierd and incongruous until you start playing it and realising how dam fun, creepy, immersive, challenging and therefore addictive it is. Steam sales on now!
Im probably gonna sound very boomerish but i think you should just get busy. Work out or try to get a new skill, not necesarilly for hustle but just cause, but i mean comit to it, like take a course on your town or online, go to a gym or to any local art groups, be it painting, dancing or even acting, being part of a group makes comiting to your activity much more easy, and as a plus you could even make new friends. I know its easyer said than done specially from someone that isnt going throught your life, but you could start by just doing mundane stuff like house chores, decorating your room/house and cooking for yourself, and i mean something tasty not instant foot. Learning to cook descently is specially good since you have to eat 3 times a day for the rest of your life, mightaswell learn to do it right, eh?. Hell even videogames can be a good way to get bussy as long as its moderately of course, preferably single player focused games that have a begining and an end so you have a clear goal to acomplish and dont get stuck on those god awful conditioning machine loops from competitive online gaming.
