Can disconfirm. I dive in completely, obsessing over a hobby until I meet my desired skill level, then drop it almost completely and move to the next thing. Some stuff gets rolled into my routine but I stop thinking about it at all, just following whatever skill/method I learned when I was obsessed.

I have also figured out how to use this superpower at work to root cause problems, implement solutions that sustain themselves, and never think about it again.

I do have a long list of hobbies I want to try, but I don’t actually try them until I finish obsessing over the last one.
