Focusing on just one project for ages, waiting for results to show up, feels like watching grass grow.
My ADHD brain? It’s built for juggling stuff. Here’s why it’s my indie hacker edge:
Switching Gears Keeps Me Going
I hop between projects like it’s no big deal. One second I’m coding a tool, the next I’m fixing a webpage. ADHD stops me from getting bored with any one thing.
Tons of Ideas, Some Winners
My brain’s always cooking up ideas—most are junk, but a few hit big. People stuck on one project miss out. I’ve got a bunch of small bets running at once.
Quick Work, Fast Results
Big, long projects scare me off. ADHD loves short bursts—build something, launch it, tweak it. I get stuff done across projects in days, not months, and see wins sooner.
Distractions Are My Power
Some call it messy. I call it handling business. While one thing’s loading, I’m plotting the next. Single-taskers sit around; I’m already moving.
Chasing the Buzz
One project takes forever to pay off. My brain craves action now. With multiple gigs, I get little wins all the time—new signups, a quick sale. Keeps me hooked.
Yeah, I miss a deadline here and there. My desk’s a disaster. But while one-project folks slug it out, I’m making moves on five. ADHD’s not a problem—it’s my indie hacker cheat code.
