When i was reading up about adhd and the differences in motivation, i learned that visualising the goals may not help me. I get the dopamine hit from the planning and the possibilities, less so from the execution of it. If im lucky, i get the completion hit too 🙏😅 My 11 year degree journey is an example of that. I really had to dig deep there and basically ignore the usual hints and tips.
So if the ideas excite your brain more than the completion, maybe you can adjust to maximise the ideas time. Get it down, write the draft to completion. At that point, before final edits, might be a good time to build your excitement back up with sharing the idea/plan. You get that dopamine hit that propels you through the tedium of final edit but you’re not having to do content creation at that point.
Story of my life. That is why I am not going to tell anyone I have been writing until I get something done.
It’s the best way to do it apparently!! 😂 Good luck with the writing journey.

Those are actually some really good ideas! Thank you! :-)
