I just accepted never finishing anything I guess? I still enjoy the starting, and the never finishing part mostly comes from not wanting to do tedious work.

I do find that as I get older the point where the work grows tedious increases. I’ve spent years on a project, and while not finished it’s certainly usable.

I didn't exactly mean getting bored after a year. I mean losing the motivation after one day.

I have never stuck to a single side project for more than a week until my diagnosis, however small.
