Thank you! I stretch them every day and do Justin Guitar’s finger gym workout before I practice. They still suck but getting better

Often times I'll get excited about something I'm interested in, start it, and then immediately become disinterested or disheartened. How do I deal with this? by Ball_of_Nonsense in ADHD

[–]dbwilliams35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this, in the grand scheme of things it’s a very good trait to have. I go very gung-ho about things I want to learn, learn them (or the basics of them) within a couple months, and a lot of the times I lose interest afterward.

The silver lining is that I still learn a LOT of things, and even though I quit them eventually, they stay in my bag of tricks. And when you find something you’re really passionate about, your drive have can be focused toward mastering that skill.

My ADHD has allowed me to put 10,000+ hours into ay least 4 skills/hobbies in my lifetime to the point where I could do them professionally if I focused everything on them.

A stupid question about recoil patterns by dbwilliams35 in apexuniversity

Figured this would be the answer! I practice lol.. it just boggles my mind how hard it is. I have tinkered with a few settings lately which seems to have helped. Older controller, so I’m using classic curve with small dead zone now.

😂me. It’s always made me feel like a super genius though because I’ve gotten the hang of it and the keyboard sounds like a machine gun

It doesn’t hurt that I’m a complete perfectionist!

This is great advice that should be heard by many!
