I feel like there are two schools of thought around accomplishing goals. One says that you need to have a laser-like focus on one goal and eschew all else. But students of the other school of thought seem to be able to focus on a few different things at a time and sort of have them all feed back into the same base.
Maybe in the latter example, the ‘base’ can be considered the main thing, and so essentially the two schools of thought aren’t that different after all.
Just make the main thing you.
