Having to finish a project before starting a new one

Well, I hit Google and here's what I've found so far.

FibroFog: It's my gift, it's my curse.

A shrink once said that I was in a "fugue state." I've been chewing on that one for years, but it just won't go down.

I'm not sure how an attention deficit is connected to Fibromyalgia.

I think it's the other way around. Some stuff works, for reasons unknown, and I learn to enjoy the stuff that works and hate the stuff that doesn't, BECAUSE it doesn't work. The like or dislike is the effect, not the cause.

"...It is now presumed that the frontal lobe of the brain somehow regulates behavior and provides inhibitory restraints on impulse (Arco, Cohen et. al 2004), creating a 'pause function' that enables one to step back, look at the big picture and create schemes, rules and plans..."
"...the ADHD or executively impaired student cannot talk to himself internally in ways that prompt a task focus and submit motivation-sustaining, self-provided feedback. In that context, he can be said to have, not an attention deficit or self-regulation problem, but a self-talk deficiency..."

Would this be worth anything?

I often can't complete a list of simple tasks if one task cannot be completed or is taking longer than expected.

But when it comes to larger projects, I have the opposite problem. I usually lose interest/momentum and start a new project, never finishing any that I start.

Some days are worse than others. Sometimes I can't even be bothered to finish my

Hehe. That says it all!

I have kind of the opposite problem. I have a very hard time working on something when I'm bored by it, or even, not inspired by it at that moment. So I'll start 3-5 projects at the same time, and whenever I get an exciting idea for one, I'll go work on that. Then, when that idea runs out, I can usually get interested in one of the other ones. I hop between them. It can be a little nerve-wracking, when I have 4 projects, all part-done, and the deadlines are looming. But I always manage to pull it out at the last moment.
