how to do everything you want somewhere
along the line you were given some
terrible advice you have to choose a
niche you can safely place a device in
the paper shredder underneath your desk
there may come a time in your career
when you need and want to focus on one
thing but until it arrives you can craft
the work you are meant to do around all
your passions and interests sometimes
finding the work we were born to do may
involve refusing to choose a single
career path even if we can’t do
everything some of us want to do more
than one thing remember there’s no set
formula for what a career should look
like and we’re all making it up as we go
along still jumping from one pursuit or
interest to another or juggling several
at a time can be challenging luckily
there’s a strategy that can help you
navigate that bumpy path it’s called
work shifting work shifting is different
from multitasking it’s where you
navigate multiple projects and interests
by focusing fully on something for a
while and then deliberately shifting to
focus fully on something else you can do
this according to a time and calendar
method a project based method or simply
an intuitive as you go method some
question what should you do answer it
probably doesn’t matter so just pick
something there’s an old story of a
student who approaches a teacher the
problem familiar to many of us I have so
many ideas a student says but I don’t
know which one is best it probably
doesn’t matters as a teacher just pick
one of them and do it the point is that
remaining in paralysis is often worse
than making any actionable choice like
it or not by refusing to make a choice
you’ve already made a choice to do
nothing and doing something or several
things even if they turn out to be the
wrong thing or things it’s almost always
better than doing nothing at all even
when you feel paralyzed indecisive you
must find the way to take action and
move forward I heard of a shock who is
so specialized she has narrowed down her
field of expertise to raw vegan cooking
specializing in avocados and
seeds some of us are born that way and
sometimes there can be a lot of value in
becoming the world’s leading expert on
your choice of random topic if that’s
you you dedicated to learn hard and fast
on one specific way of life good for you
that’s great but for everyone else who’s
struggling know that there’s another way
you don’t have to choose a niche you
probably have more than one interest and
that’s what makes you interesting
pursuing a multi-faceted career or more
than one career once may require more
effort than missing a single area of
focus you may find however that the
reward is well worth the effort why not
do it all or at least do a few things
well you can build a life around all
your interests and you don’t have to
settle for anything less
