Finding Structure and Discipline for Pursuing Multiple Interests

Joey, a 25-year-old aspiring creative, struggles with managing his time and finding structure for his various interests. He desires to be a writer, skater, musician, and actor but finds it challenging to balance them all. He often hyperfocuses on one passion and then moves on quickly to another. Joey fears living without purpose and wants to prioritize his creative work over his retail job. He seeks advice on how to create a schedule and establish habits. Oliver Berkman, author of '4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals,' offers insights into embracing the limitations of time. He suggests setting achievable, low-level goals for focused periods and learning to tolerate discomfort when making things wait. Instead of trying to do it all, the key is to prioritize and neglect the right things, finding satisfaction in the choices made.
