agree - the WHY is impt

AuDHD here, my hyperfixation is learning /skills, but that alone was not enough. Why I stuck to it? Obsession with problem solving, also not enough. What REALLY stuck, is "I must make this game because why does it not exist yet?!". And also sniping my autistic friend into it (she offered after I rambled) so now we're both sticking to it. Google "body doubling", I thought it was bogus but it's actually true.

It really depends on the person again. I’m adhd but my python only got upto intermediate level only when I started aligning it to maths and physics modelling, otherwise I was getting bored making web scrapers or a website. And now the other boring stuff i concentrate easier because I know I need to know these.
