I was struggling to decide if I wanted to talk about my ADHD on the channel, but there was something niggling at my brain I couldn't get away from and I knew I had to make this piece. Things I've said in the past on videos and in streams about motivation and "discipline" I now have a very different perspective on and I really wanted to put something out to correct that.
It's a personal piece that has nothing directly to do with game development, but I get so many questions about motivation all the time and I regret some (not all) of the ways I dealt with those questions in the past. It's also a topic I think many hobbyist game developers wrestle with as they try and perform the Olympian task of actually making a whole ass video game.
This will go live to everyone else next Friday. During the week I'll be working on PokeyPoke.
