This YouTube video transcript excerpt argues that writers (and solo creators) should choose a single priority each quarter, focus on it until it produces positive feedback, then either continue or pick a new priority. The speaker claims concentrating on one thing for an extended period (about a year of iterative quarterly focus) will advance a writing career more than trying many simultaneous pursuits.
What my thing is. Like, if you don't like a thing, meaning both you don't enjoy it or, and, or you don't get a positive feedback loop from it, you should not be there. Or you should be there and put zero effort into it. And instead, because we are one person, pick one priority every quarter and focus on that. And if that, that, that first time you focus on it, it does well, do it for a second quarter and then make a decision. And if it doesn't work and, like, find another priority. But, like, we are in this world where you have to do 900 things and, like, you don't, you should spend one year figuring out one thing that you really like and get positive feedback from, and that will do more for your career than literally anything else you can do.
