Wanderlust, Having Too Many Interests and Projects
If you’re like me and several other forum members I know, you have books on all kinds of subjects and languages that sound interesting but that you may never study, you have dozens of started projects and you frequently re-decide what you want to concentrate your energy on.
I now found a book that seemed to know me better than I know myself. It also had an instant wowing effect on everybody else I know with the above-mentioned issues. The book is called “Refuse to Choose!
“, written by Barbara Sher, and after devouring it over Christmas break I can recommend it to everybody here. The book reveals more about yourself and puts you at ease with who you are, but since that was not much of a problem for me, I found another part most rewarding: the part where the author provides lots and lots of helpful tips and techniques to enable you to pursue your dreams. From where and how to start via time management techniques to how to finish projects that deserve to be completed (or that your boss/school requires), there’s a lot of helpful content.

I just had a look at the first few pages on Amazon and I have to say it looks really interesting. I’ve always wondered why I get so interested in so many things, and lose interest in others just as quickly. I’ve sometimes even thought that I might have ADD! I’ll definitely be giving this book a read.
