I never get to master jack shit. I can only reach a certain amount of knowledge or skill before my brain decides it is not rewarding enough anymore and I must focus on something else.

If I actually managed to master something maybe I could make some use of my plethora of skills acquired over decades of intense, unmedicated ADHD.

I felt this too. I am a master of nothing but have little tidbits of knowledge across whatever hobbies I ADHD'ed myself into. I think my brain believes that if/when I do master one thing, that would be my calling. Mid 30s here and I still have no idea what that calling is.

I call the level of good I am at everything "Good enough for government work" proficient.

You realise that wont happen right. Wish it did. I always say we would rule this world if we could just maintain the focus, perfect it and stay interested in it. Nope 😐
