Specialists break. I write about becoming an enskilled polymath: learning many skills by doing them, and building where they overlap.
Be honest. Which one sounds like you right now?
Pick the one you'd rather not admit.
I'm good at one thing, and that one thing could get replaced tomorrow.I have a pile of interests and nothing to show for any of them.I've saved every course and thread, and I've done almost none of it.I got let go, or I can feel it coming, and I'm figuring out what's next.I already do a few things well. I want to tie them into something that's mine.I just want to sit with this for a while before I start anything.
