🦾 Do a lot or do a little
And why you want one

Fellow Human,
Right now, those building one thing at a time are winning.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t win if you’re doing a lot of things. You’re just going to win slower, and maybe you’ll miss some opportunities or growth as a result.
Everything in life is a trade off.
Personally, I like doing multiple things.
I fought this for years. But I think I’ve finally accepted that I’m simply capable of doing only one thing.
Now, if one thing came along and it was a rocket ship and the demand was there, then yeah, sure, I’d focus. In that case, it would be easy to offload everything else.
Since that’s not (currently) the case, I can do a lot, and in the age of AI for the first time ever, I feel like that’s okay.
You can do a lot, but you have to really get good at your productivity, your systems, your organization.
I use Notion.
I have my own personal CEO Cach connected to Notion and my calendar and things like that.
We have Slack as a company, and man, the ability to move fast on a computer, the ability to remember contacts, and work through multiple tabs and windows, but more importantly, the ability to just pick one thing and actually just have one window open and think deeply on it, that is everything.
