This can cause a lot of difficulty and frustration, especially when faced with different expectations other people might have. I think my own case, where the practical sort of intelligence that allows a person to organize their life, keep a tidy work environment and all that, is relatively weak, is fairly typical. Giftedness is also associated with a disharmonic intelligence profile, where some forms of intelligence lag behind others. (No steady source of income, had to move back in with my parents.) An answer might be to just do multiple things, like two part-time jobs rather than one full-time one, something like that but that sort of thing can clash with societal expectations. It led to me switching majors a bunch of times, taking a long time studying as a result, and still not having my life in order very well now at 32. I think part of this is not just an interest in something new coming up, but also a tendency to get a bit bored with what you're already doing, which leads to distractability (which is part of why it's often misdiagnosed as ADHD, for example). Sounds nice, to be interested in almost anything you come across, but it also means you get distracted from whatever you're already working on. One that has caused me a lot of difficulty in my life so far has been something that at first glance seems like an advantage: broad, varied interests.
