Ask HN: How do you manage all your interests, hopes, dreams?
I am interested in so many things, and feel a sickening dread that I won't have the time to explore them all. I'm actively resentful of my job for taking me away from the things I want to learn and get good at. When I get home, I'm overwhelmed with possibility, so I always question whether I'm spending time on the right thing. I often don't end up doing anything due to this analysis paralysis. If you're like me, what do you do? Do you try to whittle down your interests and commit only to a few, accepting that one cannot do everything they want to in life? Do you try to cram them all in somehow? Do you focus on one at a time and trust that, eventually, you will be able to get to them all? Do you quit your job and take a sabbatical year to do a deep dive on all these things, provided you have the means (I don't, necessarily, but could eventually). This has been causing me quite a lot of stress lately. Thanks HN, for any wisdom you might have. 1 comments on Hacker News.
