Life’s tough when you don’t know where you’re going.

When you feel the excitement of something new, you give up everything to jump into it. But, in the long run, this behavior ruins your consistency and long-term plans .

Usually, I can’t avoid exciting things to try. But lately, I’ve been using a rule that helps me control part of that excitement.

  • First, I score every new idea between 0 and 100 based on my priorities.
  • If the score is above 90, I try it a few times (usually a week).
  • Then, I rate the idea again.
  • The idea becomes a new opportunity if the score is above 90 again.
