I have a weird interest cycle.

>Start being interested in A (hobby.)

>Start doing A for a little bit (around a week.)

>Suddenly get bored.

>Find B.

>Interested in B for a week, yet still have a minor interest in A but I just can't bring myself to do it.

>Get bored of B.

>Go back to A and start from the beginning.

It's a never ending fluctuation of interest and boredom. I get nothing done. I never finish a project or finish reading a book… It's tormenting. When I'm doing it I'm super interested but my brain just suddenly rejects it. Does anybody else know that feel?

I definitely know that feel. My interests fluctuate from physics to learning languages to psychology to drawing to creating music etc. etc. and it's starting to annoy me how I haven't really progressed in anything at all.

Right now I'm forcing myself to finish a book on the lattermost subject but just thinking about it makes me want to jump off a cliff already.

I have like 20 books that I've read 3% of simply because I wasn' interested in whatever it was about anymore and forgot about it.

Posting on mobile is a bitch.

yeah i don't know, i end up becoming adept at something and then just drop it somehow. i just think it's you finding you're not interested in whatever hobby/thing you've been pursuing. keep at it though.

A weird thing is that I keep thinking about hobby A all the time (programming) whilst doing B but I just suddenly lose the motivation.

you lack discipline.

you need to say "I am picking hobby A and I will stick with it until XYZ"

a lot of it just comes from "not feeling it" at the moment but as soon as you get started doing something you'll soon enjoy it.
