Hardly. Starting a project is often pretty straightforward, the possibilities are boundless, and the vision can be fuzzy without interfering with the initial work.
As soon as you get to the more complex and less fun bits of the project - reconciling flaws in the initial design, repeatedly failing in execution of a step in the operation, finding a missing piece, being forced to backtrack because you missed a step, debugging, validating results, beautifying the final project, documentation - its normal to get frustrated, lose enthusiasm, and shift focus. You don’t have to be diagnosed with anything to experience anxiety, boredom, or ennui. These are universal human conditions.
If anything, I’d argue a certain level of OCD is necessary to get a project over the finish line. If you’re not a touch masochistic, nothing will ever get done.
Did you just “everyone’s a little ADHD” me? For the record, I was only suggesting that this is something an ADHD person would understand very well without intending to imply that the OP was ADHD.
Adhd, pretty much.

No.
Yup, this comic accurately describes my office and garage.
