So I’ve noticed a pattern in my life that I was hoping someone could empathize with.

I’ve been training for over a year for a physical test that I really want to pass. The other day I tried to do the exercises that I’ll have to do in the test and I completed all of them successfully and now I feel that I’ve lost some of my motivation to get better. It’s as if I was trying to prove that I could do it and I feel that I have, although I really haven’t since I haven’t taken the test. I’ve noticed this before. A couple years ago I tried really hard to get into a prestigious degree in a reputable university through my own merit. I managed to get in and soon after I lost interest and quit. Has anyone experienced something like this before?

Thank you for your time :)

Ps.: I’m not sure this is related to ADHD, I just figured it might be and the people here might be able to advise me.

      Never really thought about the possibility of powershell wargames tbh. I still don’t really have a firm grasp of fundamentals (or any kind of scripting/coding experience/logic at all).

        Its not power shell but this is a set of wargames based around linux shell. I find it super useful for teaching. Its super beginner friendly.

        The rest of them are offsec focused but I’d try finding some kind of 30 days of coding challenges or something like that for scripting. Actually learn by doing instead of having someone ramble on about theory.
