This is gold. One of the best long form content page on Substack. I’ve actually learned a thing or two from here, and have written down a few things on paper about my vision (which is unclear btw). I am just gonna read it again in a few hours. Keep this up Craig!
“Be professionally curious about a few topics and idly curious about many more.”
- Paul Graham (founder of Y Combinator)
For personal interests, my rule of thumb is simple: if something brings me joy, I keep it. Life is already tough, so it makes sense to hold onto the things that genuinely make it lighter. If an interest starts to demand a lot of discipline without giving that joy back, I usually let it go.
I usually run from long articles, but I stayed and read every word till the end. Glad to know that I have hope as a polymath, and sometimes, or most times if I'm being honest, I feel overwhelmed. I refuse to fit in one box, so I will write down my vision and my pillars and work towards it.
Great read Craig. I have been thinking of the same thing and wrote a piece on this too. Picked up a ton of hobbies this year and have been trying to navigate them so this came at the perfect time.
This is really useful. I have already envisioned my desired future and isolated the goals I need to accomplish in order to reach it, but the execution of it is something I struggle with due to lack of motivation and organisation. I'm taking notes and trying to figure out the path from now on based on your suggestion, and hopefully, I will only move forward now. Your work has honestly been a discovery of the week for me, thank you for your service Craig!
I’m currently trying to lengthen my attention span by reading more long-form content, but this one felt like I was just flowing with every word.
Your writing style holds attention as well as it breaks down multiple topics to form connections between them.
And most of all, thank you so much for the concrete step-by-step guide. My vision is clearer now and I can’t wait to see how it plays out in the following weeks.
More power to you, Craig! Keep learning, creating, and sharing amazing ideas. ✨
Thank you Craig, this newsletter it was so important to me. I wish we could talk in a videocall someday, it'll be a pleasure to hear more deeply about your ideas! Best from Brazil!
One of the best posts I’ve read in a while, im still processing and im sure that im going to read it a few more times, but still this post really helped me make sense from all my interests
The amount of paper I have infront of me rightnow full of planning,dumping thoughts and clearing vision is actually crazy because I consumed a lot of videos , articles ,advices on that specific topic and I didn't find any practical solution at all so when I read this it unlocked something in me and I realized Iam maybe not wasting time as I always think. I always thought its Ridiculous to abandon everything in life to focus on one thing but I didn't have proof if that's actually correct and I tried doing that and failed.

Thank you! My only fear is that this piece is a bit heavy, so feel free to read it a few times!! Thanks for reading :)
You have great knowledge and wisdom for a 22 year old btw!

Thank you for this.
This deeply resonates with me.
Managing interests feels like herding cats: One strays ahead to the detriment of others.
One to re-read again and again.
Top shelf output, Craig
Thank you Steve :)

Anchored habits that are nonnegotiable really essential.
Agreed, writing is mine!
