Thank you for the invitation. I’m glad I read this article so early in 2024, because I suspect the insights that I manage to internalise will play a pivotal role in shaping this year for me. I was just telling @birdeye21 in his post that I am aiming to be a multihypenate. He also shared about his desire to Refine this year (basically to sharpen his focus). While I understand the advantages of concentrating on less so as to gain more, my ENFP mind just wouldn’t let me focus on 1-2 priorities. I actually wrote down the four areas I’m interested to write about this year: AI, BTC, parenting and Japan.

I think reading how Henrik said that you can have 1-2 priorities, just not 3 or more gave me some comfort because I was feeling stressed out by not being able to narrow my writing interests down to 1. I like the idea that he proposed: that he will divide his time into 3 parts: 1) just exploration, 2) mainly exploration and a little exploitation, 3) solely exploitation.

Any structure that can hold my wandering mind by the reins is worth trying. In fact, before reading his article, I had told myself that I would focus on writing about Japan and BTC for the whole of this month. So, I hope to be less greedy and explore deeper at any one point in time.
