How do I trick my brain into completing a project? I’m making an app that shows which voice actor plays a character in the movie and what other movies they act in. It’s useful for me personally but I feel like I’m making something that’s been done numerous times over and I lost the momentum because I’m on vacation with my family now. I ran into some problems with the project too and getting help takes a ton of time so it’s disrupting the rythm too. I really have to put at least 2-3 projects like this for a portfolio;_;
I think the actual benefit of ADHD and programming is perseveration. Meaning we struggle to pull away from a task when it’s time. Like putting down the video game and going to school.
What happens with programming is getting stuck on fixing a bug. Not being able to put the controller down until you figure out where the missing comma is and why your code won’t work.
It’s extremely valuable and a lot of people struggle with a bug and give up really easily.
Getting started working on something, or planning out a project on the other hand is the real tough part.
