Hi Guys!
In today's video we're going to be talking about: what to do when you want to do too many things. It's the creative dilemma of having too many interests.
I've definitely been there, and sometimes I still struggle to focus and niche down across a few different fields instead of many. And a very common question I come across is "should I do more than one thing?"
I think overall there's ways we can harness some of these interests, and still find a way to focus on more than one thing in our lives.
Hope you guys enjoy this discussion video! :)

I literally romanticize everything I want to pursue, then five minutes later realize I'm too bad at all of it to make a living of it, but I can't become a professional if I don't focus on becoming good at one thing, but I can't decide because... And the cycle repeats itself.
You spoke my heart out.
@@RakeshSharma-sq1si what do you want to do?
@@josefinasotes796 Not one thing, a hell lot of things. And that's the problem as i can't focus on one thing so I can't become very good at it. Jack of all with confusion on the top it. Wild combination
@@RakeshSharma-sq1si well I've been trying to do at least half of the things I want, but by self-teaching, because I feel like I don't have time (and mostly money) to take classes or courses on everything. That makes the process a lot slower and frustrating because I wanna be great now lol and for that I need at least a professional to help, which takes me to the loop again.
@@josefinasotes796 Skillshare is there. Take help from there. It doesn't charge much, in India at least.
I have so many things to do..
I can't decide and i just procrastinate
Thank you for this! I struggle with juggling all my passions such as writing, playing trumpet, reading, fitness, going outside, self-care and there are a few more. I think what works best for me is doing certain things one day and doing other things a different day. It works, but it is hard because one day when I schedule myself to write, I'll want to play my trumpet or it'll happen to be nice outside so I'll want to go on a run and my schedule gets thrown off. It also gets repetitive working on the same things in order every day: Write, play trumpet, work out or go on a run, for example. It gets boring and it is hard to switch it up because it worked so well for me over the summer. I get burnt out, but I take breaks when that happens. I just feel like it is still too much some days. Plus I work and that takes time. I really enjoyed this video though, it does help!
I like doing more than one thing, but I feel like it all needs to tie together. So rather than niching down to specific crafts or art, I focused on developing my own style. That way, I can do a lot of different crafts under one umbrella but it all feels cohesive because I have a specifc style. This has been working for me quite well.
This is a really cool idea and I can totally see how this would work! That should definitely be a great option for a lot of creatives out there 😊
I really appreciate this video, since I was little I've always been overwhelmed by the fact that I wanted to do literally everything life had to offer. I've been struggling as an adult bc of it but this gave me hope that it'll be manageable
I'm creating a superhero now, including the story and uploading in CZcams.
I want to be a singer.
I want to be an action star.
I am doing a workout trice a week.
I want to be a gamer.
The stories that I making, I want them to have there own book.
I want to have my own business.
And I'm turning 33.
LITERALLY

I think the main struggle for wanting to do many things is that many of those things take time to learn and get good in, so when i flip from one activity to another, i feel like im not investing enough focus on each thing to really grasp and get better at them. Its like im just learning surface level stuff for the dopamine-boost before moving on. I know theres plenty of tips out there to juggle different pursuits and have a plan and time management for each, but realistically, they dont count the time & effort it takes for the mind(and body) to process and absorb a new skill (which happens when youre not doing the activity), to weed through the anxieties and fears that come from starting/joining something new, and then of course put that all against the mundane tasks you have to do like working and adulting. I think with age it gets hard to not get tired and burnt out easily, so as much as i want to do so many things, i really have to discipline myself to do 2-3 things at a time to get the full effect and appreciation, and sacrificing some desires if theyre not the best time to pursue them
These are great tips! I made not wanting to limit myself, stop me from getting started. You've provided great advice to help me get started. Thank you!
Honestly the advice seems ssoo simple yet this was actually what I needed to hear ,thank you so much! ☺️❤️ Subscribed
I feel lost. Sometimes I want to do so many thing but sometimes I don't want to do anything at all. I might have mental health issues 🥲
Same for first two and I’m damn sure about third
If you’re not joking about the mental health issues.. they are real, but as an excuse and cop-out they’re too easy as a way of not addressing bad behavior.
Thank you. I stopped the video half way to revise and narrow down my schedule to what I want to do right now. Amazingly helpful. There was way too much on it, probably why I only lasted one week following it. I thought I had to do everything now haha. Strange how our minds play games like this.
thank you so much for this video! was so helpful!
This video is exactly what I needed 👏 🙌
Hello !! I am a TEAM CBT Therapist and have to say that I still struggle with my priorities. Being some kind of hyperactive person I want to do everything. After watching your video I think I will use a combination of doing What I love right now and also aborting some projects because I want to do too many things. Happyness comes with getting organised, focusing slowly on the thing you love right now and saying NO to many projects
I needed this video, thank you so much!!
I'm so glad MaKayla! Thanks for watching ☺
Thank you, this was really helpful!
Thank you for this video! ❤️
No worries Artem! 😊
Thanks! awesome advice
No worries at all! 😊
Great insight fasho
Interesting point Kayleigh.
Thanks.
No worries at all! 😊
Wow Love these videos!!! You should do a video sometime soon talking about on how to find other creatives to work with like MUA,hair,stylist etc? And maybe how to successfully work with a team on a project!! Would love to know more on that!! I Appreciate your knowledge!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks Giovanny! I'd definitely love to do more videos on working with other creatives, I'll likely be posting the photography specific ones on my other channel. But great idea, thanks for watching! ☺
@@kayleighjunecreative Of course!! Thank youuuu!! 🙏🏽🥺
It was helpful thanks
It’s a wonderful video, helped me in 2024, hopefully this year i can make things work for me🎉❤
I’m so happy to hear that! Good luck in 2024 and thanks for watching 🥰
I want to start a clothing brand, then do youtube, buy cars at a young age and inspire others. I wanted to do music from i was about 8 and i wrote poems and listen to rappers like jcole and kendrick now i want to do music again too. i want to explore science and AI and change the world hoping to be remembered for centuries. sometimes i wonder maybe i just want recognition and to be someone who changed history for people to know centuries from now that i existed. i want to do all of those things and have interests in philosphy and psychology and want to master as many field's of engineering like tony stark what do i even do
Maybe find ways to get your varied interests to work together? Say if you like theatre and engineering, go into special effects work. If you like music and electronics take up the synthesizer or work in a recording studio, and so on?
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing 😊
I want to be a boxer, song artist, writer and content creator. I feel creating something for the world that come from me
This is so cool, it's awesome to have different interests! 😁
ur cute , thank u
I couldn’t help noticing in this video how she was definitely communicating that she loves you and wants you. Why are you playing this game of cat and mouse with her?
@@justinTime077 LMAOOO chill😭
