I feel overwhelmed and lost. I want to pursue multiple directions with my professional life and I don’t know which one to choose, so I figured a good first step would be to do a brain dump of all the possible directions:

  • Become a better software engineer and master the craft of building software
  • Build a portfolio of small projects/content that generates passive income and lets me travel the world
  • Study for job interviews and hop to a new company
  • Start my own startup and attempt to solve a problem currently facing humans
  • Become a teacher. I enjoy understanding complex topics and then explaining them in simple terms

Given the finite time I have outside of work, I find it hard to decide what to spend my time on. The choice paralyzes me and sometimes I end up doing nothing with my free time. I would love to pursue a direction with passion and be content with my life.
