Master of None

To be a Jack of all but a Master of none is both exciting and frustrating. To be know just enough in a topic or skill to be dangerous. I've heard that many with ADHD have the ability to quickly learn new things or at least believe we can learn anything. That last one can sometimes put you in a bind especially if it's involving an important task.

It's so exciting to be reading and learning something new. To have a new challenge to tackle. You go done the hyper focused hole watching how-to videos, reviews on new software or devices, reading blogs and books (at least the first few chapters).

The issues normally come when the new hobby or activity transitions from beginner to intermediate. For me its as the novelty starts to were off and it's no longer shiny. Or the trouble shooting can no longer be found in a googles search on the first page.

The full quote which was suppose to be a complement to someone not how one describes themselves goes:

"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."

My skills though rudimentary in most fields still give me the leverage to be able to converse with many of my creative design clients. A wide ADHD toolset coupled with divergent thinking can be a great asset to any project or team. We ADHD neurodivergent may have a hard time driving over the finish line, but oh boy if only more people and leaders would see the potential. In have their own Jack or Jill on their team to see all the angles and connect the dots, to come up with something great.
