Balancing wide-ranging interests

Just set time aside for each one and keep your mind clear of any other activity during one

Certification from one source or another seems to be the most important thing to people all over the world. A piece of paper from a school that says you’re smart, a pat on the head from your parents that says you’re good or some reinforcement from your peers that makes you think what you’re doing is worthwhile. People are just waiting around to get certified.

I don't need a pat on the head or peer reinforcement, I just want to know that I am a certain level skill-wise or knowledge-wise. I want that for myself and not for anyone else.

>makes you think what you’re doing is worthwhile
As long as I like it, it's worthwhile to me. I don't need anyone else to say what I'm doing is or isn't worthwhile.

Try to engage in aspects of the activities which merge with each other. For example: read Dostoyevsky in Russian (law, history, language, lit, vicarious travel lol)
