Speaking of focus, how about some additional focus on proofreading: “…that the core product starts to lose it’s focus .”

Remember, a site like this needs simplicity, usefulness, and accuracy. Should be “lose its focus.” “It’s” is a contraction for “it is.”

That said, fantastic article!

I really like the thing about “evaluating social commitments”.

I’ve started to realize that it’s best to give the MAJORITY of my energy and attention to maybe 5% of the people I meet… the ones who really inspire me, teach me new things, appreciate my time, and introduce me to other cool people.

Trying to maintain ongoing relationships with every person you’ve ever met is a big waste of time (though it’s easy to do nowadays). Better to give MORE of yourself to the people who really matter in your life.

A wise insight, echoing another interesting post that relates:

http://www.behancemag.com/Tip–Generate-Ideas-In-Moderation/5661

I’ve always prided myself on being a creative, and one who can create far more ideas, worthy and not so, than anyone I know. And everyone — family, friends, business associates — says so, too.

But too much creativity can be a bad thing.

Read the post (not pimping).

I’ve learned my lesson, and am slowly regaining focus after a lifetime of running from one idea to the next without ever sticking with one long enough to see it pay off.

Another version of feature creep, I think.

Ciao.
