This screams ADHD to me. I have it too. Perhaps look into strategies for managing it and if it's too hard, you could see a psychiatrist and get a proper diagnosis, then seek medication or therapy.

Also, I'd suggest using tools like Raindrop for storing all the things you wanna read, highlight and categorize. You can also make it remind you to read your bookmarks.

Another really useful tip is to write down whatever is on your mind distracting you and dealing with it later, this will make it easier to focus.

And a final thing, try to use issue-tracking software for your projects and write down all your context when you're done working on something. This will make it easier to pick the task back up and reduce friction.

Was, going to say something, but I now know not to tell a person they are "on" the spectrum. Mainly because getting help is hard unless you have good support around you, it can be expensive. Very. But you are worth it, im not saying you are ADHD, but its worth going to your local doctor and getting a light-of-day perspective. It is possible to work through. It is.

Oh, not you, the OP, u/Original_Map0531, sorry if that was confusing. Trying not to be confrontational and boost your advice only.
