Can I just say: I think following your curiosity in the moment is way more rewarding than blindly digging into a topic just to become better at that one thing. I’ve done MOOCs on everything from happiness to the muscular system, to healthy food, work stuff, IT, logistics, negotiations, change management, futures thinking, AI. Why would you want to only specialise when seeing the larger picture gives you so much more understanding?
Plus, all the experts need someone who understands what they’re best at and when they should start singing their little piece in the orchestra.
I’ve been scatter‑minded all my life because I’d rather focus on whatever really has my attention right now than on something I’ve self‑imposed and scheduled. When I do the thing I actually feel the need to do, I can focus for hours, right down the rabbit hole, writing, researching, painting, reading, whatever it might be.
And when I need space, I go into nature and watch how the trees grow. They have fun stories too: which bird stole another’s nest, arguments between squirrels, who last took a poop nearby. They don’t take offense, nutrients are nutrients.
I hear you and I relate to it. Nothing's ever perfect and there's a price to pay for being and living thus. But I think it's worth it and it looks like you do as well.
