A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Can you rephrase your question? Imo nearly everything can be interpreted to relate to some sort of achievement.
I mean achievement as something that's perceived by society, something that you don't do for enjoyment, something to profit off of in some way (be it simple recognition or raised social status), "I will do this because people will also see it and that's very good". It can be the expectations of relatives, workplace, college, or you're just doing something for the workplace or college.
I'm asking because I cannot imagine what hobbies/activities outside of performing for somebody can be negatively affected by short attention span. It's not your problem that people are just boring and don't treat you like a god damn human (workplace that requires you to sit and sign documents for 12 whole hours with little to no breaks, or endless inefficient meetings, for example)
