The Rabbit Hole
Limitless Curiosity
The world is fractally interesting to you. Every topic links to another, and you must follow the thread. You are a generalist in the truest sense, collecting knowledge that seems useless until the exact moment it becomes the key to everything.
Core Strengths
Where your natural cognitive patterns excel.
Broad Knowledge
You know something about everything.
Connecting Dots
You link disparte ideas.
Passion
You are never bored.
Growth Curve
Opportunities to expand your thinking.
Time Boxing
Your curiosity is infinite, but your time is not. You need containers for your exploration.
Action Plan
- Set a timer before opening a research tab
- Use 'Read Later' apps instead of reading now
- Allocate specific 'rabbit hole time' in your week
Output Focus
Information collection is only half the cycle. You need to produce something with what you find.
Action Plan
- Write a summary of what you learned
- Explain the concept to a friend
- Apply the knowledge to a current project
Relevance Filter
Just because it's interesting doesn't mean it's important right now. Prioritize.
Action Plan
- Ask 'How does this help my current goal?'
- Keep a 'Parking Lot' list for off-topic ideas
- Practice ignoring irrelevant interesting things
