Sometimes a creator becomes extremely popular, and thus extremely in demand. Or perhaps they become so enamored of their own abilities that they believe everyone wants to see the results of every idea they have. Or maybe it's just their natural state, who knows? Or maybe no one else can be trusted to get it right?
But in any event, the creator winds up turning their attention to more than one project at a time, sometimes many more. These projects may have staying power, or they may fall by the wayside fairly quickly. It may result in one of their projects lying dormant for days, months, even years, and then suddenly seeing a burst of new activity as the creator's other projects lie gathering dust for awhile.
Sometimes a creator winds up having this through no fault of their own, as their projects encounter Executive Meddling regularly and they thus have to keep many of them in the air, never knowing which one will be given a chance to survive.
Attention Deficit Creator Disorder (or ADCD) can often lead to the quality of the overall projects (or at least some of them) suffering, or at the very least a Schedule Slip, sometimes regular and sometimes unannounced.
Also, sometimes it's not another project that's causing the creator's attention to wander, but merely that they feel they have something more entertaining to do. If a webcomic has regular bouts of "Did you expect a comic today? Silly readers, Katamari Fantasy XXIV was released today, no updates this week!", you're probably seeing ADCD in action.
Creators who suffer this may be especially prone to Borrowing from the Sister Series to save time.
Not to be confused with the band AC/DC. Or with Attention Deficit... Ooh, Another Project!
Also shouldn't be used as a substitute for or confirmation of ADHD.

Drummer Mike Portnoy, provider of the page quote, is...shall we say a busy man, and even his ouster from Dream Theater and Avenged Sevenfold have focused him only slightly - he still has Transatlantic among prog groups, the eclectic Flying Colors, and the straightforward Winery Dogs Hard Rock trio - whose bassist, Billy Sheehan, is no slouch here either.

Despite the incredible impact and influence that Puella Magi Madoka Magica had on the entire anime landscape, after the Rebellion movie he cut all ties with the franchise. After that movie, Madoka Magica's subsequent works have been few and far in between.

Samurai Jack abruptly ended after four seasons for exactly this reason. Genndy Tartakovsky wanted to focus on other things and intended to end it with a movie, but Cartoon Network just pulled the plug. The movie lamented in Development Hell and the death of Mako probably didn't help much either. He eventually just settled on doing a fifth season that was released thirteen years after the fourth.

At one point, Caddicarus had 8 shows spread over 3 videos a week, resulting in a chaotic shitshow of a schedule that resulted in neglected shows (especially since Retrospectives tended to take up 3 consecutive weeks), failed projects like Puppicarus and Today's Special, and stress resulting from what must have been an obscene workload. Thankfully, Caddy recognised his ADCD in time and decided to start over in February 2016, retiring Drive-Thru Reviews, Puppicarus, Tinker Time, and Caddy's Retrospectives (Today's Special was a One-Episode Wonder), though he did keep them up as an archive. Everything from the cancelled shows was consolidated into mainline Caddicarus, Top 10s,note Caddy treats these two as one and the same and Current Quickies, a new show called Caddy's Film Fridays was added, and the Spyro Retrospectives were relegated to "future project" status and retooled as one huge video.

Bill Holbrook manages to keep three comics (Kevin & Kell, Safe Havens, and On the Fastrack) going simultaneously, the latter two being syndicated. Unusually for this trope, he seems nearly immune to Schedule Slip.
As these comics are all newspaper-style, it could be argued that the art, at least, is less time-consuming than it might otherwise be; each strip consists of a few panels, often using talking heads, simple/reused poses, and other shortcuts, and someone else does the coloring. On the other hand, a comic must be written before it can be drawn, and the time involved in conceiving, writing, and polishing the scripts for so many comics per week is considerable; Holbrook estimates that the writing accounts for three-quarters of his workload.

Ben Dunn has a tendency to start up new comics and then abandon them fairly quickly, possibly due to low sales and fans fairly quickly recognizing whatever anime and manga he snagged elements from to make them. (One of the non-starters was an almost ridiculously transparent amalgamation of Ah! My Goddess and YuYu Hakusho.)
Obamouse and Enter The Zombie, lasted one issue each.

Linkara has a minor case of this. While his main show has been released on a consistent schedule, his side projects tend to move by very slowly. History of Power Rangers is known to have year-long gaps between episodes and that's not counting editing together live shows, DVDs, the occasional Let's Play, and writing Revolution of the Mask.

Paul Grist, while an undoubted talent, has developed a bad name among comic fans for the way in which his creator-owned series (notably Jack Staff, Kane, and Mudman) tend to peter out or take very lengthy breaks. The fact that he also has a tendency to Kudzu Plot doesn't help.

Stjepan Sejic is an artist for Switch, Rat Queens, Aphrodite IX, and Ravine. He is also the artist and writer for Sunstone and Death Vigil. He is also a cover artist for various franchises. He then, on top of this workload, draws plenty of high-quality personal artwork. His reaction to his workload for 2015 has him going Super Saiyan.
As of August 2016, Sejic seems to have hit creator burnout. It turns out that working on multiple projects at his pace for twelve years doesn't come without its downsides. His health degenerating to the point where it's a struggle for him to even hold a pen properly made him realize he needed to pull back and take a break from at least one of his projects.

At his busiest, David Willis ran Dumbing of Age (a full-colour, 7-updates-per-week comic) and Shortpacked! (a huge full-color, 3-to-5-updates-per-week comic) simultaneously, while also spewing blog posts and comments on his own comics, and presumably also maintaining his time machine. Shortpacked has since come to an end.

Joe Madureira had a little of the regular kind and a little of the "can't be bothered" kind. After building an elaborate office full of toys and entertainment, he and his employees were apparently more concerned with having Nerf wars than getting out issues of Battle Chasers. And besides, doing up covers for PSM resulted in faster, easier paychecks.

She's also an author in the 'Heaven and Hell' universe and the 'Caregivers' universe and several others of her own invention, like the 'Erinyes' world.

The Russian author Vera Kamsha switched to the Gleams of Aeterna cycle just before the final duology of the Arcia Chronicles, stating that the latter will be finished after the final part of the former is released.

Isabel Marks currently has two comics, Namir Deiter and You Say It First, which update between five and seven days a week. For most of the past five years, she's had a third webcomic (Spare Parts, Undoubtedly Kawaii, The Shokora Diaries, Dealing With It, Grover Hills, and a few others). She also colors Kevin & Kell and does even more comics for a bonus site for donors. As of August 2009, her total is over 10 series and over 6000 webcomics.

Besides his time in the classic doom metal band, Wino also contends with other doom/stoner metal bands such as War Horse, The Obsessed, Mentors, Lost Breed, Spirit Caravan, Place of Skulls, The Hidden Hand, Shrinebuilder, Probot, and Premonition 13.

Pat Lee, of the defunct Dreamwave Productions Transformers: Generation One, became notorious for penciling the first few issues of a series, and then handing it off to another artist. Readers have hypothesized this was to boost the sales of each new series by advertising a star artist. The fact that Pat Lee also spent his employee's salaries on new sports cars and robbed his investors blind indicates he just didn't give a crap.

Pokémon Adventures is in a unique position in that its creator can suffer ADCD with it alone. Different arcs are published simultaneously and in different magazines; this can get confusing when reading the magazines as the events don't properly get put in order until the official volumes are released. The Emerald arc was put onto hiatus for a whole year, the Platinum arc went through a major Schedule Slip, the HeartGold/SoulSilver arc was horribly rushed, and the Black 2/White 2 arc came close to being an Orphaned Series. On the plus side, Kusaka Hidenori is allowed to make major revisions in the official volume releases, smoothing out quite a lot of continuity kinks and expanding the plots as he does so. Hidenori himself notes this and wonders if anybody, much less kids, can keep up with his stories in the magazine releases.

Michael Fleisher's run on 2000 AD had him script revivals for Rogue Trooper and Harlem Heroes as well as original strips such as Junker. He had written so many strips that some of his Harlem Heroes stories were printed years after he'd been fired from the comic.

The high-definition remakes of Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 were so riddled with bugs, glitches and graphical issues that, for a time, Amazon refused to sell it in light of the fan outrage. Silent Hill: Downpour came out almost at the same time, and two other Silent Hill projects were in the works as well, leading many to believe that the creative teams involved were producing unrefined products due to being overloaded, though each project did have different teams.

Jason Robinson, creator/writer/artist of The Demon Mages, puts a lot of effort into building his world and characters, but only two volumes of saidsame comic have been published to date: the first in 2008, and the second in 2010.

Similarly, the third season was done while they were making the movie. The DVD Commentary for season three has the two mentioning how busy their schedule was, especially when they were making the meteor shower trilogy. In fact, they have absolutely no memory of making "Sexual Harassment Panda" (the first episode aired after the movie's release).

J. Scott Campbell's schedule seems to be comparable to Tectonic Plate Shifts. He's hugely in-demand as a pin-up/cover artist, but his work drawing comic interiors either never got finished or never materialized at all. His greatest claim to fame was Danger Girl, (which itself suffered from ridiculously long delays, imagine that) which he co-created in the late '90s and seems to still be riding off the success of, despite contributing nothing but covers to the series over the last 10+ years.

Game Grumps is constantly bouncing around between different games, to the point where the majority of them just get abandoned and never finished. At one point Arin acknowledged this and vowed to dedicate the following February to revisiting some of the unfinished playthroughs, calling it "Finish February". This resulted in a return to exactly one game, Pokémon FireRed... which he did not actually finish, instead putting it on hiatus again until a year and a half later and starting StarTropics instead... which he also never finished.

The Elder Scrolls main series has seemingly fallen victim to Bethesda's ADD in this regard. Since Skyrim was released in 2011, Bethesda has developed, produced, and/or published three Elder Scrolls spin-off titles (Online, Legends and Blades), Fallout 4, the Dishonored series, a new Wolfenstein series, The Evil Within series, Doom (2016), Prey (2017), and Fallout 76. Rumors continue to swirl of yet another major production which has been clearly stated to not be TES:VI (eventually revealed to be Starfield). Finally, at E3 2018, The Elder Scrolls VI was announced...vaguely. It is stated to be in pre-production and will not be released until after Starfield. Educated estimates put the release date somewhere in the mid-2020s.

Ross Scott of Accursed Farms fame. Not perhaps, because he has so many irons in the fire, but because he's working in a medium that requires an unholy amount of time and effort. (And he presumably has a day job as well.) Fans of Freeman's Mind who have been waiting a long time for the next installment to come out can't help but tap their feet and check their watches while they watch the Progress Chart for Civil Protection slowly inch towards completion at a glacial pace. (Again, it's a work-heavy, time-heavy medium...) While productivity has been arguably good despite the addition of Ross's Game Dungeon, it's yet another project on top of everything else he's working on.

There was also a chatroom Psyguy "ran" about a decade ago - Psycho's Sonic Chat, hosted on beseen. He eventually abandoned it completely, and let it sit unmanaged to the day beseen shut down. Currently unknown if this was due to other projects, or simply becoming disillusioned as to how great it was to have his own Sonic the Hedgehog chatroom.

Doctor Who:
Russell T. Davies found himself overseeing not only the main series, but its spin-offs, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
Steven Moffat found himself overseeing this show and Sherlock, as well as contributing to The Adventures Of Tintin. He later admitted that in hindsight, this was probably a mistake, as he would feel over-worked and the story arc to season six (which he freely admitted was a nightmare) to suffered as a result.

Ryuugi is infamous for this to the point that he's memetically known for never finishing a story. The Games We Play is unique for how long he's managed to keep it going.
In the late 90s/early millennium, John Biles would be running about a dozen stories at once. Most of them crossovers within themselves, and several stories were crossovers with each other. He acknowledged this in his Author's Notes as a family quirk.

That's just counting albums where he has a writing credit, not his frequent guest spots on fellow deficit disorder creators Arjen Lucassen & Tobias Sammet's projects. He's also seemingly quick to leave side projects (twice now Masterplan have carried on without him) only his I Am the Band main project seems to get his full attention.

Noboyuki Fukumoto, creator of Akagi and Kaiji, suffers from this heavily. He's been writing and drawing Akagi since 92, Kaiji since 96, and all the while he worked on other, fairly major works, at least one of which went on indefinite hiatus without being completed. Currently he's working on three separate manga.

Steven Wilson, in between Porcupine Tree, No-Man, Blackfield, Bass Communion, Incredible Expanding Mindfuck, his solo career, and several other projects, also finds time to remix and remaster classic albums (mostly Progressive Rock, but some in various other genres as well) at a staggering pace. He manages to avoid Schedule Slip with most of them, although the remixes of Yes' Tales from Topographic Oceans and Tears for Fears' The Seeds of Love took much longer than usual to be completed. However, that's perfectly understandable in the latter case, given that the first time around it reportedly took about six weeks just to mix the sort-of title track. Between all his original projects he's got over forty full-length releases to his credit, plus around as many remixes. This is in fewer than thirty years, mind you; the first Porcupine Tree release was in 1991. And he only started doing the remixes in 2009.

A common criticism of Piro of Megatokyo fame — he might be too busy to update his "day job" more than 2-3 times a month, he might not have time to work on the cast page, he might miss so many deadlines that he's quite literally helped put one manga publisher out of business... but he has time to go to every anime convention in the US, spend 6-8 hours on a "dead piro day" strip here or there or post blog rants about his favorite anime, anime merch, and MMORPGs.
Later on, he became an aversion. Due to his wife's illness and having a kid, Piro has often excused his situation with dealing with both of those, and has all but shut himself in for the most part. He only resurfaced in the con scene in 2012 after a two-year absence, and even then it was cons that were a day's driving distance or so away from his hometown in southern Michigan. As of 2022, he has taken a day job as a bus driver to pay for his family members' healthcare costs plus other expenses. Megatokyo is unfortunately no longer his day job.

It was for this reason that the Loom series was left unfinished, closely related to the fact that people had lost interest in making games with serious subject matter, as they weren't as funny/successful as the other things LucasArts were working on at the time.

For the most part, all his energy is now focused on Thunderbolt Fantasy, minus the Godzilla film trilogy he also worked on.

Part of the problem was that the timeline for KHIII to even really begin development started at "whenever Final Fantasy Versus XIII is finished" - the problem there that it was unveiled in 2006 as part of the "Fabula Nova Crystallis" side-series and came out in 2016 as Final Fantasy XV.

Kazuya Minekura, the creator of Saiyuki, Saiyuki Gaiden, Saiyuki Ibun, Wild Adapter, Executive committee, Bus Gamer, and more, tends to juggle a few projects at once. This often ends in works being put on hiatus, usually due to her health problems. (Note that the only finished work in the above list is Saiyuki Gaiden, which unsurprisingly judging by its name, is the prequel to Saiyuki).

A very infamous example was in the anime Aldnoah.Zero where he freely admitted at Anime Expo 2014 that he only wrote the scripts for the first 3 episodes due to him being very busy at the time focusing on Kamen Rider Gaim. The most hardcore disgruntled viewers have never stopped ranting about how the series's quality collapsed after Episode 3, while others who are more charitable say the quality drop mostly happened in the second half of the show.

Mike Patton is best known for fronting Faith No More, but also started Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Peeping Tom, Tomahawk, Dead Cross, and probably several other bands. Aside from all those, he frequently works with John Zorn, has recorded numerous one-off collaborations with various others, and occasionally releases albums under his own name, to say nothing of the countless guest appearances for artists all across the musical spectrum. (He also provided the snarls for both the Anger Sphere in Portal and Left 4 Dead's zombies, but that probably didn't take too much time...)
He also did voice work for the The Darkness and Bionic Commando, and scored the second Crank film and the short film A Perfect Place.

Shadyvox has shown shades of this. With Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Abridged Series slowing down to a crawl, he's made two other Abridged series... none of which made it past the pilot so far.

He just released a new webcomic, Domain Tnemrot, and another print comic, Just Another Day and he and the JAD artist are working on something else as well. And on his facebook he mentions working on three other projects he hasn't mentioned yet. Apparently he doesn't sleep.

Another very influential and popular anime of the 2010s created by him, Psycho-Pass, falls victim to this too. He had no involvement with the second season as he was busy working on the 2015 movie, and then he was also involved in the development of Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness, also in 2015. After that year, though, all his involvement with the franchise ceased, and the development of all its future works proceeded without him.
