MODERATORS
I have learned to embrace it. My hobbies and motivation come in waves. When I am excited about something I do as much as I can and stop feeling guilty about not persuing other hobbies at the moment - I know their time will come.
I am diagnosed if that's important.
+1, embrace it!
Be conscious of it too (so be wary of starting, for example, a really expensive hobby), but I think the important part is not feeling any shame for a wave of passion.
Man, I think I might have dodged a bullet this summer by not buying a boat.
I have no diagnosis and am just starting to think maybe I have ADHD but this is something I'm learning to do just in response to my own experience of living with myself.
