I used to hate hearing this
When someone used to tell me “pick one” I used to tell that person that I could do more and wondered, “are they “babying” me?”
My ego would run amok.
In fact, it still does sometimes, until I remember how much focus I can give one thing when I give it my full attention.
When I do that, I allow myself to engage with the work and the boredom, which lets my mind go past the superficial layer of “if-this” to “what-if?”
Computers can do “if-this” really well and get better and cheaper every day. You should master the other thing as soon as possible.
