Hyper focus and fixation

I’ve always had a creative side, little creative projects that take hold and I become hyper focused and fixed on and then put it down never to be touched again. I’ve designed clothes, sports brands, trading cards, developed social media content creation tools and even made video games.

All of which sit in my own little box of discarded hobbies. 

Recently I’ve attempted to be more rigorous in finishing things I start but still find imposter syndrome limits me really ever really delivering anything into the world. I’m working on this but it seems I’m unable to get over the final hurdle, but getting closer.

Anyway while in this hyper focused state I can’t context switch and I’m literally obsessed by it, I can’t focus properly at work, at home can’t stop thinking about it. 

Does anyone get this happening to them, if how do you manage it so it to be a distraction from managing the day to day?
