how to manage multiple interests & passions: a different approach

So nice to not have it called adhd and for this perspective to be so positive

crochet, drawing, watercolor painting, sewing, ukulele, guitar, yoga, strength training, gardening, journaling, gaming, watching youtube and cartoons, researching, fashion. So many things interest me and that is a beautiful thing, but it can be so hard to spend time on all these skills and balance them. Edit: I didn't know there were so many people with oddly similar interests to me 😂

We are multidimensional souls having a human experience so it makes sense we want to try so many things in this lifetime

When you said that the growth will be slower is such a true statement, I find myself to still want the instant gratification while pursuing multiple passions & interests

HOW DID MY ALGORITHM KNOW 😭😭😭 this is my EXACT dilemma!

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes is better than a master of one.” Like you said in the video, with time and different seasons, I know we can master them all!!!

"stop ignoring signs of passion or intrigue-" girl I HAD to pause the video because I know exactly what you're talking about and I need to be more serious about the cues my soul is giving me...thank you

I love this take. I love to say I am a Jane of all trades. Society wants you to feel that you only have one option when it comes to what you want to do with your life but life is about experience. Everything doesn’t have to be monetized either. Do it because it makes you FEEL.

Often times I feel like I don't know where to start. So I just brain dump all of my goals into my notion lol and take my time working through them.

I felt smart just by watching this video. Damn this woman is highly intelligent.

One thing i’ve heard that changed the perspective on learning all my passions i’m interested in is this: You don’t have to be Da Vinci to pursue a craft. All of my hobbies lived and died in my head because I was so worried about not being the best at it. But that’s okay, you don’t have to be the best to find enjoyment out of something. Now i’m crocheting, gardening, etc. It was so freeing to take the perfectionism out of learning.

This was a wonderful video. I do get overwhelmed with how many things I am interested in! I am a full time artist (oil painter and clay) but I am so interested in Physics and Chemistry, Spirituality & Quantum Physics, I want to learn the piano, learn languages, learn martial arts, I want to learn about Medicinal Plants... the list could go on and on! 😅 But I am only now at age 27 starting to see how this is actually so beautiful! I have such a zest for life and passion to discover and learn so many things about this existence! Even if it means having 8 different careers and 35 hobbies over my life span, what a colourful and vibrant life it will be! 😁

Everything is connected, and everything works together. I’ve always felt that all my interests and passions are within me for a reason, and tie together somehow. It’s like geometry, all points being connected.

It amazes me everyday how the right videos show up in feed at the right time. I'm currently trying to figure out what I want to do with my career while balancing all of my hobbies and interests (running, pottery, making floral arrangements, learning Chinese, and hiking). I graduated with a degree in architecture but Im also interested in learning and development. During the pandemic, I started teaching ESL online (and took the certification process very seriously since it's outside of my level of expertise) and I've found myself absolutely hooked on lesson planning and text reading lessons. I've also been dabbling in learning more about instructional design. So now I'm at a point where I feel like I need to choose between these 3 professions: architecture, teaching, and instructional design. I feel like Im getting closer and closer to somehow meshing these fields together but I just cant see it yet.

I can relate to this so much. Recently I started to prioritize my goals and really pay attention to what’s been fed the most and what’s gives the most value. And while I also need income, I put energy into what’s going to bring me income as well without chasing it. Happiness comes first.

Drawing,painting,sewing,violin,piano,singing,songwriting,producing(still learning ), and dancing(I suck but I’m still learning), agriculture, running a business, gaming, yoga, cooking, and baking

I love hearing another polymath speak about their interdisciplinary approach to life. I live and thrive this way despite the opinions and small-mindedness of others. It's very refreshing to hear perspectives which embrace broader, more nuanced thinking.

This is so me😭 and sometimes I feel like I’m operating from a place of lack because I’m a master of none

I left my job 2 years ago to become a writer. I have tons of material that I had started but never had time to finish over the years. Over the past year though, I've been doing odd jobs including personal assistant and animal care. Working with clients animals made me start doing dog walking as a serious side hustle. And last month for no apparent reason, I decided to dress up as a clown on my birthday. I am now a 46-year-old woman 46 year old woman who is dabbling in writing, companion care, dog walking, and clowning. On any given day any of these jobs bring me joy and seemed like the perfect thing for me to be doing with my life. I've always wanted to have multiple sources of income, but I do realize that I am stretching myself in all different directions to make this happen. My daughter recently asked me if I am going through midlife crisis. It doesn't feel like it. It just feels like I'm discovering all the wonderful things in the world that are possible and I want to do them all. From 2:18 to 2020 I was doing YouTube and thought it would take off, but it never did. But I still have a notebook full of content ideas that I am genuinely interested in producing. Sigh

you said nothing under the sun is new but connections and personal experiences are and i think about that all the time! my old english teacher once told me that nothing we will ever do or say is original because it’s “already been done” but ive always thought she was wrong because every person is SO INSANELY COMPLEX. nobody is the same.
