What’s your secret?

A lot of people are curious how I got to be so good at all the different little hobbies of mine. From streamlining cable knit hats, to a perfectly balanced cinnamon roll recipe, to a fully customized PC, I’ve polished every project I set my heart on until it is pristine and shining. Other people wonder where I get the time to do it in the first place. Is it even possible to read all the books I do in the minimal amount of days it takes?

I’d like to think I’m just incredibly cool and am naturally gifted, but the reality is pretty lackluster. I just have a habit of hyperfixating on an activity and forgetting the rest of the world. I will spend every waking moment I have on the singular goal. If I have a five minute break at work, I’ll spend it on my project. So how did I perfect the cinnamon roll recipe in less than a week? Let’s just say a lot of people I know received cinnamon rolls that week.
