I hear this exact tendency is why autDHD people are good with homesteading type stuff, or just general outdoor maintenance (not like mechanical stuff but like gardening and stuff)

There’s simply so much to do, and it never really has a completion state, that if you lose focus midway through a task and start another, your ultimate goals are still being furthered.

I quit my job (public sector) and I tend for sheep, ducks and plants at home.

It’s mostly OK, but I still forget important stuff like buying feed and such…

I’ve definitely found that I do better when I can keep 100 different things balanced against each other. It gives me somewhere to go when I hit a wall. It can obviously get overwhelming when something goes wrong though
