Shiny Object Syndrome 

Shiny object syndrome occurs when a person keeps jumping from one side hustle to another, hoping that one will work. The reason this phenomenon is detrimental to the individual is that constantly switching to new side hustles won’t be effective unless they maintain consistency. In the end, it can create a false sense of productivity while actually wasting valuable time.
