Multi-Streaming your Life. Embracing your Short Term Attention Span in the Modern World.

Multi-Streaming your Life

One of the things we like to talk about and focus on here at @multipass is multisteaming your life. Whether it's your income streams, your passions, your talents. Whatever it may be, people tend to have a lot of them. And in the background of today's niche based game plans, remains a subtle tendency toward multitasking your life. For me, it's been a blessing in disguise. See, I've never been able to focus on one specific thing for very long. Oh sure, an interest might stick with me for years. But putting my full attention on it usually sends me down a road to nappy time.

And although having a short attention span may be a bad thing over all. Having multiple interests is not. The other thing that tends to effect what people allow themselves to be interested in and experience, is the fact that none of us have any time. If your not at work, or trying to make time for the family, or just making a home cooked meal once in a while. Who's got time for hobbies, interests, side-hustles and truly finding what really works for you. Time aside, most people are also usually strapped for cash and as we all know time is money. So it's often hard to even relinquish time for those interests, that given time to develop and grow, might bare fruit in the future. So what is one to do? I say, afford yourself the time to be creative. I think if you look around the internet, the people you find that are making some of the biggest leaps are people who are multistreaming their lives and time. A perfect example of this @jerrybanfield. If you aren't familiar with Jerry's work check him out. https://steemit.com/@jerrybanfield/ Jerry multistreams like nobody's business. He is constantly making videos on a wide range of subjects. some of the content is awesome and some may not be your cup of tea. But the reality is, he continues to plug away at it day after day, and has been able to amass enough of a following that he can now do about anything he wants.

The world works in mysterious ways that are usually not as predictable as one might be led to believe. The old adage of work hard and you'll automatically be successful is becoming less and less true all the time. the world is constantly changing and the ways in which we spend our time is changing to. So, take the time to allow yourself to be creative. Even if the payoff isn't thousands of fans or even recognition at all. If you like to draw, and you only have the bus ride on your way to work to do it on...then do it on the bus. And by all means save your work. It's all important and every little bit helps. You never know when that small black bound portfolio you started on the bus is going to turn into a treasure trove of interesting content for your next art project. And to put it all out there, here's how I'm trying to let myself be creative. In my spare time, ha, I've started a food vlog (just because I love food) and here is the very first episode.

Now of course I realize, this is just the first episode and not that great because of it. However, here is the one saving grace. I learned so much! The act of actually going, doing, and experiencing it for real, instead of just thinking about it is invaluable. I can tell, just from the short time I actually spent having this experience and actually putting in the time, I have come out ahead. Now, will my vlog become anything, who knows. But the experience will last a lifetime.
