I partly agree with your argument on jumping into new a project/idea/issue. It takes a lot to understand the new concept and it may not be as lucrative as what you have built in the past. Be it a new job, new tech or a new investment.
I am glad that I got into this blockchain space. If I had a mindshape of a laggard then I would be focusing more on how to improve skills that would help me do my policy job. Not sure we can justify being a laggard to have stability on what we have. But, it is also true that once you reach a certain level at something you are good at/comfortable with, you tend to not have enough interest to focus on something that requires additional work/engagement.
BTW, how do you manage to work with that many hours of sleep? Unbelievable.
The trick is to not become closed off to everything.
There is a balance point in all things. But, we tend to be unbalanced in stuff like entertainment. "I don't have the time to learn about investing, but I have endless time to watch Netflix."
It is not great, but I tend to manage "okay" for short periods on very little rest. Long-term it is very poor.
That I agree. I would not necessarily learn a new game that may eat up my time I would otherwise utilize into something else meaningful that I enjoy.
I cannot function after one bad sleep. I remember the first few weeks after our kid born. Those were horrible few weeks.
I think that is where I really learned how to do it - because for us, it was the first 6-9 months :D
