Deep dives

The Dimmer Switch Mentality

The traditional on-off switch mentality suggests that individuals can focus on only one or two areas of life, sacrificing others for perceived success. This approach leads to neglecting important aspects such as relationships, health, and personal growth, which can atrophy over time. As a result, when one attempts to return to those neglected areas, the effort required to regain a previous state becomes increasingly daunting. This mindset promotes the false belief that postponing attention to these areas is a viable option, ultimately fostering regret rather than fulfillment.

Traditional wisdom says you have to live life with an On-Off Switch Mentality: If you want to do well, you can have two areas switched ON, but if you really want to win, you can only have one area switched ON. The other areas are, by default, switched OFF.

The problem with this approach: If you leave an area OFF for too long, it becomes very difficult (if not impossible) to turn it back ON.

My solution is the Dimmer Switch Mentality: It says that each area of your life exists on a dimmer switch. If you want to focus on building one area, you turn that switch up, but rather than turning off the others, you just turn them down low.
