> I haven't tried any meds for the ADHD, I'd have to talk to doctors about that. I'm on the fence on the whole idea. I've made it this far without them. One of the nice things about medication for ADHD, and I've mentioned this to a few people who are new to having (or supporting people who have) ADHD, is that the medication is very straightforward and you get roughly instant feedback. That is to say that, if you comp…
Thanks for the insights on the meds. I heard from some people that they can also just be taken as needed. So I could potentially go without them most days, but if I need/want to get something done, or am having a particularly hard time getting moving on something, that can be a tool in my tool belt. The biggest hurdle to trying right now is the act of finding and setting up an appointment with someone. I've been putt…
Thanks to both of you above, both commentators, for the detailed responses. Digesting them right now before replying further. I was asking specifically because, well, at my age after years of extreme difficulties with focus, I think it's time to dig a bit deeper into remedies and possible causes.

This is me. After I hit ~70 domains, I realized I needed to stop. Now, I have since pared that down considerably, and instead add all of the domains I like to a "wishlist" so I can come back to them (I never do). Then for my project ideas, I find writing them out to really be what scatches most of the itch for me. I get to think through the problem, think about how I could implement it, maybe even do a little explori…
Do you just start to code once you have an idea, or do you carry out a market analysis?
I am in it for the thrill. Code first ask questions later.

#244I totally understand how the author feels. I'm currently working on a project myself, and most of my spare time has been devoted to it. Honestly, there were times when I wanted to give up, but I just couldn’t — maybe it's the sunk cost, or maybe it's just stubbornness. The deeper I got, the harder it was to let go. But in the end, I stuck with it and finally launched it recently on Product Hunt. If you have a moment, feel free to check it out — I hope it can offer you some motivation to keep going too.

#245Starting so many projects can feel like an endless loop of unfinished ideas. You might want to try using MailsAI to automate follow-ups if you ever decide to launch a cold email campaign for one of them. It helped me keep things moving without getting overwhelmed.

#246My advice: It’s probably not that you’ve lost interest in your project — it’s more likely that you don’t know what to do next and you’re defaulting to your comfort zone: building the product. Here’s an easy way to test this: imagine your product suddenly takes off — it gets picked up on Reddit or Hacker News, you start getting lots of users and feedback. Would you still feel uninterested? Or would you find yourself e…

I worked with a guy like you. He had a seemingly pathological need to one-up someone even when it was just a blatant lie.
I worked with a guy like that too, but even worse, you wouldn’t understand
I worked with a guy like that... oh wait, that guy is me

Im the same way. I wish I was rich enough to hire like 10 developers and assign them to all the different projects I have in mind.
You are, it’s called Claude Code Max.
This actually killed my motivation to do some of my side project ideas. I would spend a lot of time writing very good specifications, setting everything up for succes by really finetuning my prompting and context, but then the AI would output something that looks impresssive but is completely full of mistakes. And it would take SO many tries to make the AI fix it, but every time it creates more and more bloat, and introduce more and more issues. Until the point I decide to throw away everything the AI produced, and try it from scratch again with a different prompt.
Eventually I spent so much time trying to make it work, only to remain empty-handed.

#249> I buy a domain name → I code for 3 all-nighters → I lose interest → I start again. At least you're actually doing the "I code for 3 all-nighters" step! I've stopped too many projects at the "I buy a domain name" stage, and added an intermediate "I create a Trello board" step between that and starting to write code. No need to pull all-nighters, which are hard to do with family and a full-time job, if all I need to…
I always buy a domain well after I've finished the MVP and have been using it myself for months. Am I doing it wrong?
But what if somebody else snatches it and steals the idea???
