ADHD, finishing projects and being independent (discuss.online)

How do I trick my brain into completing a project? I'm making an app that shows which voice actor plays a character in the movie and what other movies they act in. It's useful for me personally so the internal motivation is here but sometimes I feel like I'm making something that's been done numerous times over and I lost the momentum because I'm on vacation with my family now.

I ran into some problems with the project too and getting help takes a ton of time so it's disrupting the rythm too. I wish I didn't have to rely on other people so much but the documentations don't answer all of my questions. I really have to put at least 2-3 projects like this for a portfolio;_; halp

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/
