Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Every new thing I start, I throw myself in obsessed and sure this is the one that sticks
• I keep hopping from one new thing to the next, waiting to feel that lightning-bolt passion before I’ll really commit
• I keep waiting to feel that spark before I really commit to anything, and it never shows up at the start
• I keep grinding on at something that stopped working a while ago because I’ve already put so much in that quitting feels like waste
• Every time I start something new I design the ambitious full version, run out of steam by day three, and quit
