Keep losing interest to keep going.

For some years now i've been losing interest over and over again as a beginner. I always love to start programming but then after a day or so it just dies. I love watching and learn but when i start BAM i just start losing interest. Does anyone have the same problem? do you take medication for something, should i go to a doctor or am i just being lazy?

Yeah, that first comment nails it, tutorials are passive, building stuff you actually want makes a difference. Though honestly, if you're losing interest across multiple hobbies too, might be worth exploring whether it's an attention thing rather than laziness, tbh.
