#YOLO : No side quests

We can only do one thing at a time. The game is finding that important thing.

I have a bunch of people tell me the weird creative things they’re working on in the background. I ask them why. They say that it’s just a little thing that they’re doing because it’s creative and fun or exploratory.

The issue is, there’s no background project. If it’s taking up time, it’s taking up now.

I have this fantasy that if i stay up late doing something, it gives me extra hours. Logically, if I sleep instead, i can wake up rested and ready to pursue my main thing – my mission / my higher purpose. If i stay up, I miss out on the crucial work that i can do (sleep counts as work).

We keep coming back to finding a mission and sticking with it. Sometimes working on a bunch of creative projects is helpful to a mission. 99% of the time, there’s just one next thing to do.

Take Action: make a file for ideas. Write down all the ideas for side-quests and keep them there. don’t do them, just store the thoughts for later.
