I heard from a few people this week who are working on several projects at once.
That always strikes me as dangerous ⚠️
This quote from Thomas Edison (via James Clear) helps explain why:
“You do something all day long, don’t you? Every one does. If you get up at seven o’clock and go to bed at eleven, you have put in sixteen good hours, and it is certain with most people, that they have been doing something all the time. They have been either walking, or reading, or writing, or thinking. The only trouble is that they do it about a great many things and I do it about one. If they took the time in question and applied it in one direction, to one object, they would succeed. Success is sure to follow such application. The trouble lies in the fact that people do not have an object, one thing, to which they stick, letting all else go. Success is the product of the severest kind of mental and physical application.”
Instead of juggling 3 different projects for the next year, what if you devoted the next 4 months to just one?
