You don’t need to change anything. Also you don’t need to stick to one field only. Many of the most successful people in History were actually multi-talented and polymath. The most interested people I had a chance to talk to also had experience in multiple fields and activities. People like you are curious, and this is a virtue.

But if something is bugging you about this, maybe you could invest some time giving one step back and getting to know yourself better. This will make the exploration on your options more assertive. Study your personality and temperament. Read some biographies of successful people with the same personality of you. Consider options of fields that are more dynamic and let you work on a wide variety of fields (e.g.: entrepreneurship).

Instead of looking for the right activity for yourself, I’d suggest looking for the right mission or purpose for yourself. Doing any task in any fields but that is actually linked to a strong sense of purpose is much more fun.
