i see a lot of people having the same experience - and im one of them but i dont see a lot of starting points on this problem if you will im not through this but heres where im at   i am in general able to remember things if i work towards it but this seems not to apply to everything i do equally some things i take seriously and i do them fairly successfully and other projects i invest hundreds of hours and still cant give you a clear overview  so for me the point lies within the project a very important point was to realize what drives me towards those fun projects they are fun but thats not why i spend time on them    learning about my mental problems and how to tackle them theoretically is fun and all  all those fun creative projects i know alot of stuff about but never really finished to a point im happy with  learing things i think might help me in the future    if im honest with myself i initially didnt start all these things because they were fun i did it to compensate something else to not do something else to feed perfectionism to stimulate my brain   solution would be to resist the craving and dont throw another hundred hours into it because if i view this behaivor clearly i dont get anything out of it else than a short happy chemicals boost for my brain - but nothing long term  this is what my eperience is and maybe someone can get something out of it  have a great day internet
