I have never been able to set goals. Mostly because I’m working on 100 projects at once. But also because a goal could get changed by something outside of your control.

If I do try making goals, they usually just end up being “make more money so I can put it toward project #67 to maybe get closer to done”. I’ve kind of had the goal of “learn to program” my whole life but never can get past chapter 2 of any class I take. I’ve kind of started a visual basic training but even once im done with that its not like i can go off and make a program that is useful. And game design requires such an insane e time commitment id have to stop all my other projects to even think about that route.

I guess a big part is I dont see a point in goals either. Everything is always dynamic so even if you reach a goal it may not even matter by the time you finish it.

My day job is mildly challenging but mostly easy. We have to set 4 goals a year but I usually just make them something im already doing (update how tos for certain tasks, take a business seminar class, etc).

And im only mildly adhd (so they say. I feel like its way worse, I just hide it very well).

    it’s frustrating getting looked at funny for accepting that life is unpredictable and framing accordingly.

    Yes, this! I always want to answer that you’d have to be a charlatan or delusional to claim that’s knowable information.

    Like when people would ask ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?’, and I presumed they meant ‘what are you interested in at the moment?’
