I like the concept of telling personal stories instead of advices.

Thank you! (Great talk, and nice dash of humour)

And I also like the "advice" of being prolific, rather to "focus" like we hear often on Hacker News.

What has worked for me in the past (here comes a story, not an advice) is trying many personal projects until I found one that worked on many aspects (financial / personal lifestyle choices / meaning / etc...).

Having too many projects at the same time was very stressful to me, so I found that I could work on one main project and a new side project every month at the same time.

In the end, it is one of the side projects that started to work better than the others.

This week, I am going to be working full-time on it and I am happy about it :)
