Susan Fowler on guys & gals that want to flit from flower to flower, to want to have and learn and do all the things that interest us

People tell me I can’t do all the things I want to do, and they are of course wrong, because I can and I do and I will.

But I still can’t ever reach my greatest, deepest, most secret goal, the goal I left off that list: to have a singular passion.

Maybe that’s ok.

Maybe my life will always be about running toward that unattainable goal, trying and loving everything I find along the way.

And maybe at the end, when I have to give an account of my life, I’ll say that

I never was anything, but I was everything.

The whole thing is inspiring! Go, read.

It took me nearly eighteen months of reading and watching and slogging and poring over Cal Newport, Barb Oakley, Anders Ericsson, and Daniel Kahneman to figure out what überprof Derek Muller explains in just 12 minutes of blockblucksterness!.

P.S. Just found out, it took Derek three years to make the video.
I don’t feel so bad now :P

If you haven’t been to Tim’s blog and read his awesomely long monologues, watch the video first

Then go read this article, which explains the video in text followed by
this one (optional) for even more detail, followed by
this one which shows you how to actually beat procrastination

And this one, tells me in a funny, yet poignant way why all this matters!

Procrastination is something I struggle with on a daily basis; and have for a long time
I’ve been working at it.
This pic gives me hope
And like Dory, I’ll just keep swimming
