> I really envy people who can dedicate their entire lives to doing one thing and one thing only 24/7 - whether gaming or coding.
Similarly, I used to have a crippling envy of accomplished coders who were same age as me, which has long since evaporated.
Probably a symptom of ADHD, my life consists of many short distinct phases where I hyperfocus on an interest. Knitting, woodworking, programming, reading, etc. I do have several projects that I wish I could just dedicate a couple of months too, however! Seeing how far I could get in a dedicated week always makes me long for another month of intense focus.
