There's a theory, if you want to actually do something don't tell many people. It's a common problem, even for those without ADHD.
I keep seeing this advice from very smart people who have their lives together, "if you want to finish a thing, don't tell people about it" - and two clicks later there's other very smart people who also have their lives together going "if you want to finish a thing, tell people about it". It's really 50/50 which one you're going to be told, almost as if it either depends on the individual which one works or it's entirely meaningless.
if you want to finish something, finish it
also, don't have adhd, or, alternatively, hyperfocus on that one thing at the expense of other things that you actually should be doing
Silly me.
