Too Many Interests? How to get REAL results in them. The Best Approach.

[@vaughngene]

Part 2 of this video is here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYq1eX2tg75poNksi=MZqduOG0_Y0SiBwp Also Immersion is a term that most people use PASSIVELY as in (just listen to audio and be around the language and magically become fluent), That doesn't work. If YOUR version of Immersion requires a lot of deliberate practice, then yes, 'Immersion' does work. In my experience, 99% of people who use that word around me think it's a passive effort. That's why I say that. Anyhow go watch part 2! Love yall.

Here my unpopular opinion: it's okay to be mediocre at many things and just enjoy being in the moment every time you're doing one of your hobbies. It saves a lot of inner conflict and cultivates your mental health 👍

[@vaughngene]

I think that’s fine actually, if that what ‘Results’ or even ‘good’ is to you. That’s totally okay imo. I think most people’s issue is knowing a lot but not doing much of anything due to lack of structure.

[@InJJWeTrustOfficial]

Definitely! It doesn't matter if you're great at something or awful at it (as long as no one is expecting you to be amazing, like if it was a paid job). At the end of the day, if you're doing something because you're interested in it and having a great time doing so as well, that's all that matters. Life is a journey... you find new things you enjoy here and there... lose interest in others... and the cycle continues. If you want to develop more skill in something, you just need to focus more of your time into that activity than others, but if you're just doing something to chill and enjoy it for what it is at your current skill level, then that's perfectly fine as well :)

[@Youriii2]

@@PQ_497I understand where you’re coming from! I feel the same way too! It’s this year that I can say I’m truly myself. Most of my life, I was dealing with mental health issues… so I coped by escapism. However, you don’t have to achieve everything at once. It gets overwhelming leading to the thought of “why even bother at this point”, don’t listen to that voice and sabotage yourself. Do what you can in the time you have. Remember, whether you doing something or not time goes on. So, it’s better to do something, achieve some of your goals than not doing anything at all. Also, don’t be hard on yourself for wasting time in the past, it in the past now. Start your new journey today. Don’t worry about the future and don’t dwell on the past. Sending you all the love and positivity 🙌🙌. Matthew 6:34 is “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” In Isaiah 43:18-19, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.” God will make away for you an easy your worries!

[@Youriii2]

I completely understand you. Because of mental health issues I wasted so much time too. However, don’t beat yourself up for wasting a time, it’s all in the past now. Your new journey starts the moment you forgive yourself and move on from your past. Remember, whether you’re working on your goals and hobbies or not time flies by. The thought of “not having enough time to work on all hobbies, so why even bother” is self sabotaging. You don’t have to achieve everything what matters is you start doing something. It’s better to achieve and excel in some of your hobbies than nothing. Try to avoid “all or nothing mindset”. Just go with the flow. A struggle I had was and still working on is fear of failure. So, I avoid doing anything, if I think I won’t have more time or I will fail. That mindset only lead to procrastination and regret later on my life. I now understand, we’re here to make mistakes, failing is not the end of the world, dwelling on my past only leads to emotional turmoil, and forgiving yourself and others is the start of your healing journey. Sorry for yapping 😂 I just got the feeling to say this to you! Sending you all love and positivity 🙌 Matthew 6:34 is “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” In Isaiah 43:18-19, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

Being a generalist is SO underrated. Marketing consultant, and it's frustrating how many small businesses get scammed bc they meet a specialist in ONE (of about a dozen) discipline who talks the client into spending 100% of their budget on the one speciality/discipline they happen to know and sell...whereas I'm capable of 100% customizing strategies and tactics to the CLIENT'S situation.

[@vaughngene]

Yeah it’s a really fulfilling life! 👌

[@Rubbinghandsschemingsomething]

Tbf, it's hard to capitalize generalist skill, unless you're a T person who has one specific skill and know a lot of other stuffs. It's easier to contribute to society as a person who is good in python programming but sucks in sports and music than a person who can do anything from python programming to playing musical instruments, but at the basic level. Don't get me wrong, im a generalist myself. I can do a lot of things, ranging from swimming (all strokes from freestyle to butterfly), badminton, basketball, soccer, playing guitar, bass, harmonica, drum, above average rank in competitive gaming, basic linux scripting, etc. and i'm a mechanical engineer. But, i don't think im so good at a specific thing (beside engineering, which i don't really like, tbh) to the point that my skill is marketable. That's the main problem as a generalist, imo. We're lacking mastery in skills hence we can't contribute a lot to society as quick as specialist, unless we take entrepreneurship path which is much harder than traditional professional way.

[@TodayTestfbsfbsfbs]

It depends on the discipline, a good scientist for example should be pretty good in one discipline, working in manufacturing or marketing more generalised knowledge is better, but I think you’re right generalists are underrated.

There are general doctors, and specialist doctors. Neither one are a scam, they each fulfill a different purpose. Same with marketing. Your clients are not being scammed, it could just be they need the right approach. There are situations where specializing is better, and others where having a general knowledge is better. They are complimentary traits, hence why we live in a society where our complimentary skills and traits are set up to help one another.

Things I am taking away from the video 1) When do you add a new skill:- a) When you don't struggle to show up b) When you feel weird not doing it for 2- 3 days c) When you have developed some sort of competency 2) Disappear for some time 3) It's ok to quit if you don't feel like continuing it anymore 4) 99% is the work we do and 1% is the learning or knowledge we acquired from videos like this and related stuff

As a former personal trainer that’s funny to hear Lol. I have never believed in aggressive teaching though yeah. The nervous system doesn’t operate that way. Fear elicits the pre-programmed response.

The worst thing is that I have so much interest that it's hard to keep track of most of them. Waking up everyday and having different goals occupying my mind is not good for mental health. This is the problem of the modern internet, everyone wants your attention which makes you more ambitious, but more bloated with ideas, unoriginal ideas mostly. Looking back, it really is a matter of focus and discipline. Being consistent with one thing and setting aside other things for other days, making peace with them day by day per se.

[@vaughngene]

Yes exactly, the main point of these last two videos is exactly that. There nothing you are really missing out on by finding more content. This includes mine! Far better for you to just go practice or study and figure things out as you go!

Same here bro! i literally have 6-7 different hobbies/passion since im a kid and i just feel its too much. I really need to prioritize and reduce them, and this is the hardest part cuz i cant, i dont wanna get rid of any. Exactly the opposite, i find more and more things that make me excited without looking for one. (Its crazy that i know a lot of people who doesnt have any hobbies and doesnt get excited about anything even if they are searching for it…) Its really hard to imagine with my head 😅.

This video is beyond relatable man. I got burned out a couple months ago because my New Year’s resolutions was a huge list of reading 24 books, hitting 1,000lbs SBD total, running a marathon, hitting sub 30 seconds on Rubik’s Cube, picking up guitar again, hitting 1500 chess rating, etc and it was just way too much. I actually started therapy a couple months ago to address a lot of these thought patterns and feeling like I should be doing more but I’ve learned that hobbies and novelty are a huge aspect of my life. I’ve stuck with the core hobbies that I genuinely enjoy and that don’t take energy to commit to and slowly adding things that interest me over time. It’s a really fun process

Nice, it’s good you got your scope right! As the years pass you’ll have better results this way anyways imo.

[@Ronni74]

This is actually so comforting- I thought I was strange for having all these different passions. And the messed up thing is that I have the desire just not the momentum or motivation. Like when I tried clay sculpting- I sucked at my first time so ironically I wound up thinking I’d fail at it just overall. But, I guess we shouldn’t focus whether or not we’re “great” at something but whether or not we enjoy what we’re doing. As humans, we aren’t gonna be fantastic at everything especially not the first time. So, my best advice is to just go with the flow sometimes. Overtime you’ll start to get better. But, maybe we don’t actually have to be good at things to enjoy them. That was mostly for myself- but maybe someone else is struggling with the same problem:) We got this, fam

I played video games as a kid like Mega Drive Snes PS1 and then picked up guitar in my early teens and started a band shortly after. ended up playing some festivals (not main tent) by before 18. Then life took a u turn for oersonal reasons, video games got me out the slump then one day after years I picked up my guitar again and started learning Jazz as a new genre and now I am currently learning Japanese and am currently in the Intermediate plateau iam loving it and I am definetly past the point of no return. I can't stop. I am enjoying native content that I like and it is so rewarding. You have to celebrate the small wins but honestly, that saying is counterintuitive, because usually the small wins are huge wins, you just dont give yourself credit for them enough. Enjoy exploring the skill you are aquiring at any level and remember to enjoy the simple things. You dont need to be a mastermind in your chosen skill to experiment. Experimentation is a great teacher and it can often lead to unique characteristics which are the golden nuggets in any any skill.

[@alvaroluffy1]

even a video like this cant help me, i have so many interests it is unbelievable. I could never choose 2 or 3 of them over dozens. Im a generalist, and i think i now why. Autistic and ADHD people (i have both) have something thats called special interests; well, there are different terms, one of those is special interest, other one is hyperfixation. The hyperfix is kinda like, you get obsesses with something, and start intensely researching/consuming/enjoying it for some time, like, it could be 2 weeks, it could be 2 months, you know, and then the obsession disappears and you go to the next thing. Special interest is like hyperfixation but on a grand scale, its a hyperfixation that never goes away in your life. For example, i, for most of my life, would have said that my biggest special interest is videogames, or science. But recently i realized its not. The reason im such a generalist and i look for any type of knowledge is because of my biggest special interest, which was difficult to identify. My most important, biggest, special interest, is the understanding of reality. Anything that is part of reality, anything that works under rules, any kind of reasoning, or proof, or thinking. Any kind of system. All of it. I need to understand all of it. Every possible system or rule. Thats my special interest, and thats weird because it has some unexpected consequences, like the need for being a generalist (thats more expected) or the indecision that comes with it. I cant choose just one or two things because in the long term, overall, i want to learn everything. I know this goal may seem unrealistic to most people, but remember the world is going to change in the next 10 years, in many multiple senses, so it may be possible to understand everything throughout the centuries. I really dont know. But i will never stop consuming knowledge

[@vaughngene]

99% + 1% rule is so fire! another creator, josh czuba makes vids about consumption of content + overstimulation, and recently i watched a video where he talked about how if you eat a big meal on thanksgiving, your body needs ample time to digest that, and if you just continue eating and don’t give ur body a break, you would never be able to absorb and use those nutrients. he compares this to content consumption, explaining that if we are in a constant state of stimulation, we don’t have the opportunity for what he calls “mental digestion”. his point was that you have to give yourself silence + actually absorb the knowledge and skills you’re learning via content. i feel like so many of us get trapped in a cycle of consuming, planning, trying to get perfect before actually doing the work + this leads to no end. only through putting in 99% of our own work to digest + use what we are learning in the 1% can we start to make real progress. thank you for this!

Im doing painting, graphic design, music production, strength training and running. So this deeply speaks to me.

I'm saving this, I have been wondering how to juggle everything that interests me. So glad to find multifaceted people like me. Thanks for the video

Guitar. Piano. Art. Italian. Reading. Cooking. And much more. It's hard to do everything but I enjoy it

When my daughter grows up, this is the main thing i want to teach her. I have my own hobbies id love to share, from guitar, skateboarding, mma, and coding. But the most important thing is the discovery of being able to learn how to learn, and how any of your hobbies can prime you to learn anything you want

Around the time I found this video, I had been go to gym for six months, and I was just starting to believe I could achieve other things with that confidence you mentioned. Finding such a quality channel while my mind was forming around these ideas felt amazing. Thanks for the video and advice, keep it up!

This was exactly what I needed to see, thank you for sharing. Been a trucker for the past 3 years post-pandemic, which I thought was killing my interests. Turns out I was wasting so much time doom scrolling and binge watching youtube. Drastically lowering the time watching other people do stuff - freed up time for guitar, music production, fitness, cooking and coding - all of which give me purpose and a sense of satisfaction. Subscribed and looking forward to more of your videos.

Nice! I do think we all have more time than we think, but I think it is something that people have to see on their own.

Sometimes it seems like a curse. I have so many projects/subjects started that I'm going to have to work on them until I die. Guitar, philosophy, religions, psychology, sales funnels, advertising, occultism, productivity, football, web design, app development, hidden History, fitness, hip-hop, beat making, F1, Notion/Obsidian calisthenics, meditation, magic, copywriting, Baroque music, NLP, English, sales, nutrition, interior decoration, Hermetism, systems, chess, meta learning,... Dude, i need 3 o 4 more lifes 😅

Thanks for the video, Tosin Abasi❤

[@vaughngene]

Lol I hope to be as good as him someday.

[@PoppoYoppo]

The confidence snowball is true for sure. I'm working on developing video games and learning skills from that made me more confident to work on my gym form and performance.

[@liselorebrosens5778]

Absolutely love this video, being a musician, climber, photographer and videographer and still just a 22 year old going to work to my 9-5. Thanks!

[@vaughngene]

Nice! You have a lot ahead of you too!

[@izzyshafey4615]

I'm a massage therapist, and into weight lifting, jiujitsu, Capoeira, cooking, reading a lot, and now working on writing a sci-fi novel. It's become hard to juggle now that I'm a new dad but hearing about all of you awesome poly-interested people doing similar variations of many interests inspires me

[@bayouhombre9110]

I remember seeing your video on my timeline one day, i pressed the save button to watch it later but somehow the video wasn't on the list. I kept trying to find it but couldn't. Today it appeared on my recommended again. I'm grateful 🙏
