Undiagnosed here, seeking some inspiration and will to not lose hope.
Had anyone successfully gotten in tune with your ever changing hyper fixations?
- If so, how long do your fixation periods last?
- Do you have a structure or benchmark after which you can effectively “close that chapter”?
- What strategies do you have to nudge yourself towards topics which will be meaningful in the long run?
I tend to go from rabbit hole to rabbit hole but it never feels like I’m in control. These fixations never produce any meaningful outcomes and always have a cost which I pay for by neglecting other aspects of my life.
It is a superpower and a weakness as you all probably know. It’s great for expanding your interests and appreciating life through different perspectives. I don’t want to lose it and want to get into some harmony with it. Anyone had any success?
Thank you :)

I’ve been a little intimidated by Notion due to the sheer customisation potential. However, it does seem to help folks and it’d be a shame not to have at least tried it.
You’ve nudged a fellow being towards a good habit and for that I thank you.
I don’t even know nothing about the customization. I just create a page and dump links, pictures and some typing in there.
But yes! Small, incremental change!
