What is it?
Sticking with a hobby is the practice of managing your interest over time. For an ADHD brain, this means finding ways to keep an activity feeling fresh. It is about moving from the 'excitement' phase to the 'steady' phase without losing the joy.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your ADHD brain has a lower baseline of dopamine. This chemical is like a reward for your brain. New hobbies provide a huge dopamine hit because they are fresh and novel. Once the hobby feels familiar, the dopamine drops. Your prefrontal cortex struggles to stay focused because the 'chemical reward' is gone.
