Introduction
I love working with new ideas. New story ideas, new craft ideas, new art techniques—if it's exciting and new, I am there. I enjoy learning, trying a variety of things, and gaining new skills.
Borrowing from the Wikipedia definition and adding a bit of my own, a polymath is a person who has knowledge and skills over a wide range of disciplines, and who uses the insights gained from their learning to solve problems and create.
Other terms that are thrown around for a person who fits this description:
Multipotentialite
Renaissance soul
Scanner
Jack of All Trades (Master of None)
Add any other terms you can think of here...
My favorite terms are polymath and multipotentialite. I love the term multipotentialite because I feel like it embraces the idea that I am a person of multiple potentials. Yes, I am the writer, but I can also be the artist and the singer. I have the potential to live many different lives. I love the term polymath because it's easier to spell.
However, as a multipotentialite (I'm going to use this term interchangeably with polymath, depending on how lazy I feel), here are the top problems I face:
1. Project overload
2. Losing track of projects
3. Difficulty making time to work on projects
4. Difficulty keeping up with my own pace of learning
So the goal of this short book is to share how I've dealt with these issues. Hopefully, my findings will help you find some solutions of your own.
Reducing Project Overload
Not too long ago I read the book Goodbye Things by Fumio Susaki. I procrastinated reading this book because on the surface it looked like extreme minimalism. But when I finally got around to reading it, I was so inspired that I've read it twice and plan to read it again.
Susaki shares how before letting go of his stuff, he spent much of his time shopping, watching TV, browsing social media, and trying to impress people with his music, movie, and camera collections. However, after letting go of his stuff, he started traveling and learning all kinds of new skills.
As a polymath, I'm always learning new skills. What amazed me is how his physical stuff stood in the way of his learning new skills. By letting go of these things he became a multipotentialite. He was probably one all along—it's just that he couldn't focus on what he truly wanted to learn because of all the distractions. Once he let go of all that stuff, he started living the multipotentialite life!
Along with being a boost to my personal goal of living a simpler life, his story helped me to see that sometimes, my collection of polymath projects
