I wrote this up quite some time ago but it seems most of it is just as relevant now.
Inspired by this lifehacker post - Tim Ferriss and Marci Alboher on Redesigning Your Career - featuring Tim Ferris and Marci Alboher talking at Google about of their books.
The main gem I took from listening to them talk is this:
You can pursue multiple careers but don’t try and pursue them all at once.
Drive and build one for a while then move onto the next one… while continuing the previous one. Keep adding incrementally.
In the past I’ve made a few attempts at to do everything at once.
It doesn’t usually work out for me.
Start with one thing - what’s most important or urgent right now
Get it moving quickly and then tweak it
