Is this a mental disorder?

I’m always birthing innovative projects but not seeing them to the end. I think I suffer from the fear of missing out, underlying a belief that I won’t expand fast enough if I stop chasing the horse of future investments. Most months I spend so much money investing in the future that I go into debt, then bail myself out with the next pay cheque, only to invest and go into debt all over again.

No. It sounds like you may be struggling with balancing your desire for innovation with your need for practicality and follow-through. It's great to have new ideas and be excited about the possibilities they present, but it's important to also be realistic about what you can actually accomplish and to develop a plan for seeing your projects through to completion.


One strategy you might try is to prioritize your ideas and focus on one or two projects at a time. It can be tempting to take on too much at once, but this can make it difficult to stay on track and see things through to the end. By focusing on a few key projects, you can allocate your time, energy, and resources more effectively, and increase your chances of success.


Another useful tactic is to develop a plan or timeline for each project, outlining the specific steps required to bring it to fruition. This can help you stay organized and focused, and can also help you maintain momentum and motivation over the long-term.


It may also be useful to set specific financial goals for each project, and to develop a budget that takes into account the costs associated with each step of the process. This can help you avoid going into debt or overspending, and can also help you stay focused on the core elements of each project.


Finally, you might consider seeking out support or guidance from a mentor or coach who can help you identify areas of growth or improvement, and keep you accountable to your goals. Best of luck!

What I tend to do each year is take on a new hobby or seeking to learning something new. But, i do not devote any further time after I've completed/mastered 80% of the objective because I agree with 80/20 theory.

So I don't think you need to see it to completion but you need to be more selective in the ideas you choose to invest in. Ask yourself as part of the the process in determining whether to invest your time and money, whether it's something you can see yourself actually doing
