For the longest time, I’ve just bought digital products and not really always done something with them. I used to buy from those sites, I’m not sure I can name them here, but the ones where people release a product, you pay next to nothing for it and hope that someday you actually do something with it.

Then I started going wild trying every different AI tool there was when all that kicked off, and I had some very small success in the beginning with things like A1111. I even managed to get one of my designs printed onto a business uniform for a company in London.

Which then gave me the toxic trait of thinking I was smart enough to build my own apps and websites. I’d used WordPress for many years before, but I never knew how to code.

I’ve been slightly obsessing over that for a while, and I’ve built a few things, but this is where the holding thought comes in. I feel like what I’m doing right now is just building apps for the sake of it, just to say I’ve done it. To build something from an idea through to something that exists, and then not really know what to do with it afterwards.

But somehow I feel okay with that, knowing I’ve got something, even though I’m not really marketing it. It’s an odd thought and feeling, but I wanted to know if other people felt the same. And if you do, did you ever change it? If you did, how?

I find it very difficult to stick to one thing, and I know that’s been my problem my whole life, I’ve set up businesses and innovated my way through life and I’m sure it’s partly my ADHD, but I need to find a way to stop just building products and actually start pushing them to see what could come of it.
