The hidden cost of keeping everything open is never going anywhere deeply.

Refusing to close doors sounds like freedom and feels like a kind of paralysis. Depth requires committing time to one thing long enough for it to become difficult and then to become yours, and that period is exactly what you cannot enter while everything remains equally available. Breadth is easy to accumulate and hard to be nourished by.

Pick one thing and give it a fixed stretch of exclusive attention. Three months, no reconsidering. You are not marrying it. You are letting it get past the shallow part.
