Winning Formula for Multiple Interests

Human experience is so complex; hence, many domains and depths of complexity exist. This is precisely what makes the human experience so interesting

This way you own the entire show—mistakes and wins. The entire suite of life.

Logically, one idea - a routine, a commitment, a goal has to be mastered or pursued until you can extract value from it. Best outcome I think is a lesson (from a flop idea) or a victory (small or big wins) that you can articulate 100% in words to yourself and others.

For me, the past two years have been one activity that brings cashflow and another that buys me tokens to build the best content workflow SaaS on the market that also tells you how you're going in the post-AI era. Tracking - the whole thing. This is it. Everything else takes a back seat.

So winning formula logically is to pick anything to obsess over for long enough before seeing clarity on a next chapter. I happened to pick building a product that I already use every day and will continue to use to write.

What is your one thing? Pick one and start building + promoting it. Because the only available shortcut is investing in people who know what you're trying to do, or being able to recognize patterns/value to contribute to society and hire people to achieve the mission. Seems logical. I prefer bootstrapping projects to de-risk uncertainty and to top it off, if you have a paycheck coming in, that is the safest environment to kick-start building. What have you got to lose?

Analysis Paralysis.

This one is tricky because activity can feel like progress. Every person on this planet has experienced it at some point; as soon as it's recognized, our job is to move on.

If you have multiple interests, start doing things. Actual things—not just thinking about them or analysing them. Because you can.

Break this illusion every time there is hesitation. Identify what it will take to break through the resistance. See if you can just do a small amount of the work in that area. Maybe it's just drafting that one email.

I wrote this for someone 10 years younger than me and hopefully it helps at least one person. Keep the momentum going for your own projects, writing, software whatever it is - whether you're doing it full-time, part-time, or alongside a full-time job, it is well worth it both in monetary value and all things priceless.
