The first and most important thing in living an extraordinary life is being able to describe things as they are without guilt or moralizing. For most of us there is a seldom considered disconnect between who we are, who we think we should be, who we want to become, and who we can become. You're already farther down the path of seeing yourself as you are than most people. Is this excitement and burnout cycle innate to who you are or part of how you are now? What advantages does this cycle have? What does it say about you that you're uncomfortable admitting? Is this behavior leading to progress against your goals and values? If the cycle is innate, how can it be harnessed, trained and controlled? Can you cycle on a weekly instead of a yearly basis? I'd posit that to make a real dent in financial independence you'll have to learn to work through the boredom phase, or choose bigger problems at the start. I relate to a lot of what youre saying. The hardest thing for me personally is choosing only one thing for prolonged, multiple year, commitments of time.
