Too many ideas! Too much to choose from!

Hi, I have way too many ideas. And I also have studied and learned too much of everything! I don't know how to find help.

I have only one thing that I truly desire. That is my Spirit "SouLegend" to become reality. But it's way too many ways to do that...

I totally get that. I’ve had so many ideas at times that it’s overwhelming! It’s really exciting, but it feels like what I call “spinning.” I get so many ideas at once all spinning around in my head that I don’t know where to start. What I’ve found helpful is to keep an Idea Journal. If I get the ideas out of my brain it really helps. Writing/drawing them, or telling someone else helps me free up my brain from obsessing about an individual idea, and can help assess which ideas I want to focus on first, while seeing that the others are there and can be realized later.

Thanks, I do write down when it spins around.

But some ideas are too good to pass on. So I begin to work on that and leave the projects I create unfinished. 😐

Should have someone to take turns on finishing an unfinished project. 😅

Main are:

* Infinity Dreams.

* ConnectedWorlds.

* Tutoring Gamers.

* Clay sculpturing.

* Games design.

* My book.

* Video editing.

* Let's Play.

* Chatbot.

* Learning and studying JavaScript. And other codings.

* Art and Craft.

* Board games.

* Discord group.

* Facebook pages.

* Streaming.

* Blender character and learning more about Blender grease pen.

* Music-making.

* Brain training.

* Advertising.

* Drawings.

* And of course a lot more. 😅

I am basically half finished with all of that. Always done everything alone, because... Who would want to help me if I can't even stick around long enough to finish what I started? And also, it is hard finding help when poor. 😓

Right now I even getting ideas that I want, but surely just going to half finish if I started.

Like, if people like us take turns finishing each other's projects. Then it would be feeling like a new and amazing idea for the one who just began from a half-finished project, to actually finishing it.

So it would be like a trade. If both have unfinished projects, then they could switch and finish each other's projects. 😄

Thanks. ☺️

The idea of Infinity Dreams is to help people have amazing dreams, where they can have fun adventures and cope with their feelings and emotions in a healthy way. ☺️

But no one seems to need my help, maybe I am too late to help people with their dreams. No one wants to believe in me. 😢

I have no one that wants to invest their time in my dream to create Infinity Dreams. I never give up on it. I have my girlfriend who loves me and my Infinity Dreams. She would help, if she had a computer, and wasn't 7 hours ahead of my location. And if we both weren't poor, she more. She works 3 jobs. So I can't even have time to see or talk with her. We have been together for 1 and a half years now. And still, every time we text, we tell each other how much we love each other. But these times with the pandemic on top of everything. It just makes everything worse. :'(

And no one else wants to talk about dreams with me. :(

I think you’ll relate to this:instagram.com/p/CWqhpoSr2oK...

You also responded to my post about motivation- this is exactly the ADHD brain- we get really excited about new and novel things- but when the excitement wears off and we’re faced with the the tedium of follow through a d completion- out dopamine depleted brains don’t give us the motivation we need to keep going. So we drop the thing we’ve lost interest in, and move on to the next, for that Dopamine surge.

I hear you about wanting a partner- in my experience it’s hard to find people who are excited enough by my ideas to the point that they want to engage to that level- but friends can definitely help to keep us going by listening to our ideas, giving feedback, being accountability buddies, etc.

Not what you're looking for?
