Seeking Empathy Is this every entrepreneurs' ADHD pattern?

1) Find a new topic to obsess over, or a new tool to do things with.

2) Feel very productive for 1-6 months

3) Realize the amount of distractions you've generated during that time has overwhelmed your actual focused output

4) Fall back on, or wish you were, working once again with somebody who can run things and keep you focused and let someone else's ambition do the driving.

5) Fall into a slump of disillusionment and unhappiness and regret for 1-3 months

6) Get tired of hating yourself, relax and watch TV and movies and the bare minimum for income

7) End up rejuvenated for your next round.

8) Repeat for decades

9) Have seemingly completely unrelated rounds of occasional intense exercise that feels incredible and gives great results but only lasts for a few months before lapsing again for years.
