The Challenge of Commitment for ADHD Adults

Many adults with ADHD struggle to stay committed to a single goal or project due to the overwhelming number of interests and ideas they encounter. This tendency leads to feelings of frustration, often resulting in bouncing from one endeavor to another without seeing any through to completion. The speaker highlights that achieving one's potential requires the discipline to choose one focus and follow it through, as this commitment can lead to a sense of accomplishment. Recognizing that the allure of novelty can hinder progress, the discussion emphasizes the importance of managing one’s attention and intentionality in decision-making.
