MODERATORS
I've actually lent completely in the other direction. I used to be more like you described, and I'd get annoyed and frustrated with myself when I started losing interest, or I'd get anxious wondering what I would do next. Now, I try to get every bit of enjoyment while my hobbies are still interesting to me, knowing I'll be moving on soon.
I guess that's what I've been doing, but I just never seem to find things fast enough so spend so long bored between. So guess I either need to learn to find things that are interesting faster, or spread them out.
