That weird thing you’re obsessed with might be your future job. Keep feeding it.

Obsession is rare and close to impossible to manufacture. Most people never find something they will read about at midnight for no reward, and the fact that yours looks pointless right now says very little about where it ends up. Skills built on real interest get deep fast, because you are not forcing yourself through the reps.

Feed it on purpose this month instead of by accident. One book, one person who does it well, one small thing you actually finish and can show somebody. Depth is what turns a hobby into something that can carry weight later.
