Use All of Your Interests, Passions, and Hobbies to Create the Life and Career of Your Dreams

Back in 2006, multipassionate creator Barbara Sher distilled her years of wisdom into 300 pages.

And in this book, she shared a simple 2 part process for organizing ideas and exploring many interests. Also valuable is the advice offered about how to allow yourself the freedom to explore without feeling like you quit things all the time.

Here’s the breakdown:

Sher calls multipassionate people scanners, because they are always scanning the environment for the next thing to try. Scanners often feel like they are doing something wrong because they quickly jump from subject to subject.

By using her idea organizing system, you can house your ideas for the future while continuing to pursue your current passion.

Sher's system uses binders and paper, but contains a solid way to organize ideas. (Maybe a multipassionate person can create a digital version? That would be awesome.)

The book also offers career ideas for the different types of scanners she identifies.

I highly recommend this book for anyone struggling with feeling like they are a quitter or directionless just because they are interested in an abundance of topics.
