Learning new things and ADHD go so well together. I was working on a project and then ChatGPT came out.. and so I started to learn all about it, then I wanted to code with it and make projects with it, and that's exactly what I did.<p>The cons are the fact that I still haven't gotten back to the original project I was working on, as working on these things allowed me to get new ideas for other incomplete projects I had, so I can now finish those up, while still trying to get back to the original project.<p>There are pros, however, and that's basically: working on the ChatGPT projects helped me understand how to finish those other projects or gave me ideas for the direction I wanted them to go, whereas I was stuck before and now I know how to complete them.<p>I'd tell you the best way to overcome it is to focus on one thing at a time, but most likely, it's just not going to be possible... especially for those of us who have that undiagnosed ADHD, where we see something else, or some new technology that catches our attention and we really don't "want to miss out" on the next big thing.<p>I've just turned it into productivity. I used to be a gamer... and don't get me wrong: I still am a gamer at heart. I miss it like all hell, but the issue is that it isn't bringing me any money or making me any richer. Its a distraction. So I use my love of building web apps and learning new things as a sort of game. Someday, maybe, I'll be able to return to my fantasy world as a vampire in Skyrim. I even had somehow managed to become a vampire-werewolf hybrid in Oblivion long ago, and it probably started then: I was focused on video games til I realized that it wasn't helping me in my everyday life, and I started focusing on things that I believed were more productive in helping me in my everyday life.<p>Is building web apps helping me? I do use what I build to make my workday/worklife/everyday life a bit more productive, and I try to share those with the world.. sometimes for free, sometimes with monetization so I can have people support the project so I can keep working on it.<p>I'm also one who works on a project -- once I finish that project, other than upkeep, I'm usually done with it. I wrote a very massive book several years ago and other than market it for a week or so once a year, my mind has moved on to other things.<p>So my advice: make sure whatever you're learning is productive.<p>As PaulHoule wrote below, "try grad school." Good advice but I had a friend who did that... three masters degrees in something like literature, history, and world culture. He was aiming to be a professor and teach... one day he's headed down to the basement in his apartment, which doesn't have a railing, to do his laundry, and he falls down the stairs and fractures his back. After many surgeries and a lawsuit, he has his insane debt forgiven and he now lives in constant pain, and his dreams of being a professor are now gone. The guy loved to learn... but learning at the institution level certainly comes with a price, and he would've been on the hook for the cost of a mortgage. So make sure what you are learning is actually going to pay the bills.
