Actually I’m not doing either of the two things, I do Java and Ruby programming, though (…and I’m reading a book on C#).

@Dren: I’m glad to hear that the mapping helped you! But I share your pain – it’s not easy to let go on things that you’re less insanely interested in. I’m really bad at that too, which is why I always try to find ways to do more with less effort – I’ll talk about this in a future post in this series (when I tackle the topic of outsourcing).

Today, I’m trying to push out the next article, which is about keeping your focus clear every day.

@Mark: Online University, huh? Sounds cool… In a sense, I guess insanelyinterested.com will be just that if it can live to my expectations ;)

I have now bought the blog theme for it and am in the middle of customizing it, importing my posts, organizing them into better categories, and all that stuff. Can’t wait to share the new blog with everyone.

Maybe we should start an online university for the insanely interested? :)

Although I have tried quite some ‘methods’ on ‘focusing’ and trying to see what that chaos of interests and actions in life looks like from a bird’s perspective, I have never done the ‘mapping’ the way you suggested. Now that I’ve found out what’s my ‘common denominator’, just have to figure out how to use that discovery… or I’ll just wait for your next post ;)

No, seriously, this mapping helped me understand why I am ‘insanely interested’ in the things I am, but confused me on the spot where I had to decide which things should I weigh ‘less insanely interesting’ at the moment and postpone them for ‘later on’. I realized that I want them NOW, because I am pretty sure that ‘later’ I’ll be interested in other things and the ‘current’ ones will remain as ‘unfulfilled’ wishes/dreams/enthusiasm…

Eagerly waiting for the next post of this series! ;)

Very motivational! Thanks!

By the way, are you doing C# or selling furniture? :-)
