I jump from hobbies all the time. I've started and stopped more hobbies than I can count. There are a few I return to time and again though. I like math and programming. I think this is a good measure to find things you're "good at". Or at least have the potential to be "good at". Maybe it's not true for everyone but it is certainly true for a lot of people - something you always return to, even after an extended break, is probably what you should be doing. You can have a wide breadth of experience (and that's a good thing) but in general you'll probably find you return to a few things always. If you don't - that's great! Keep paying attention. If you do then you have a direction to head in. A book can't teach you this, neither can some self-help guru. Maybe you aren't keen to be "really good" at programming. Maybe your hobby that you constantly return to is something you haven't even tried yet.
Then again I also have some form of ADHD (diagnosed). I can generally hyperfocus on things like programming, but for other things (like outdoor hobbies) I become obsessive, then burned out, and then I just always return to programming. My entire life is biased through this lens so take it with a grain of salt.
