Undiagnosed here, seeking some inspiration and will to not lose hope.

Had anyone successfully gotten in tune with your ever changing hyper fixations?

  • If so, how long do your fixation periods last?
  • Do you have a structure or benchmark after which you can effectively “close that chapter”?
  • What strategies do you have to nudge yourself towards topics which will be meaningful in the long run?

I tend to go from rabbit hole to rabbit hole but it never feels like I’m in control. These fixations never produce any meaningful outcomes and always have a cost which I pay for by neglecting other aspects of my life.

It is a superpower and a weakness as you all probably know. It’s great for expanding your interests and appreciating life through different perspectives. I don’t want to lose it and want to get into some harmony with it. Anyone had any success?

Thank you :)

    It seems you have a good system to bookmark projects! Love the idea of a wheel, just spin it to pick your next direction. That way you’re limiting exposure to new projects while slowly progressing the existing.

    Thank you for your response!
