This has been brought up to me a few times.
I get really interested in something, research it, do it, and then just stop. I lose interest over night. Almost as if I forgot that I am interested in it. At work I am either working really hard and pumping out work or I am not doing anything and moving on from one distraction to the next. I start projects and never finish them. I am distracted from my work easily. Some people have told me that it sounds like ADD or Bipolar Disorder, but I don't know. I seem to be able to focus just fine for long periods of time as long as I am interested. When my interest wains or information gets repetitive, I can no longer focus or have to be diligent in forcing myself too. I find it almost impossible to work without podcasts playing in my ear.
I honestly thought that I was normal until someone at work told me that this behavior isn't normal. Am I normal? Okay, bad question. Is my behavior normal? Okay, still a bad question. Is this specific behavior normal?
