From my latest blog comments I came across the the word Shiny object syndrome

Then I tried to find out what is it actually since for me that was a new word.

Then I understood Yes I am a victim of this shiny object syndrome .I am unable to stick to any thing

I will be trying so many things but will get bored easily..

By the way What is Shiny object syndrome? I am explaining this for those who don't know about this.

Shiny Object Syndrome (Objectivius Shinium Syndromus) is defined as the attraction to objects that exhibit a glassy, polished, gleaming or otherwise shiny appearance. Something as simple as a reflection in your peripheral vision may easily distract your attention. Over time, you’ll find that your attention to said object is directly correlated to it’s shininess and your attention fades as the shininess wears off.

I have read that it is not fatal, but it can cause you to run in circles while feeling constantly busy and never quite achieving anything.

So with conscious effort you can remove this sydrome I think once you know that you have understood you have this syndrome it is possible to remove it

Thanks to my WA friends who made me understand my problem by this simple word.Now.i will be cautious
