I love this post. I'm a career counselor. nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtjw3k8zcmp8pervct409shwdtwx45rxmp4xseryerdx3ehy7f4v3axvet9xsmrjdnxw9jnsuekw9nh2ertwvmkg6n5veen7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsqgq6lcx8fc7h0p8t4ya9u0a92jnwavqe9rgjwwdw3wjgxfuxsz8rd5mths8c is correct. But there's also some nuance. Picking one play works best once you've dabbled a bit first to figure out that play.

Choosing one career path and committing to it with full conviction is a double-edged sword. On one side, focus brings about mastery, efficiency, and a clear sense of purpose. These are qualities backed by studies on goal pursuit and grit. In the right situation, “picking one play” can indeed feel like betting your life on a winning strategy. On the other side, if that play is chosen too hastily or the world changes its rules, such single-mindedness can lead to regret, stagnation, or identity confusion, as evidenced by research on premature career decisions and changing interests.
