Go deep on one thing before you go wide. Experts get the calls. Dabblers get the group texts.

Breadth is enjoyable and it rarely makes you the person anyone phones. Being the one people think of for a specific problem means going far enough into something that you know the parts nobody writes down. Spreading early feels productive and usually produces a collection of beginnings.

Choose one area and give it a long uninterrupted run, long enough to get past the interesting surface. Say no to adjacent projects for a season. The breadth is still available later, and it works much better attached to one real depth.
