Do you ever feel all over the place?
Like your thoughts are bouncing around, and you can't pin them down?
Maybe you start projects but don't finish them, and that gets you in a mess. There's this feeling you could do so much more—if only you weren't so scattered.
If you're like me, with a million passions, your brain grabs tons of ideas at once. It weaves them into a big, awesome picture—a way of seeing the world most people don't get.
But it's tough too. It feels like you're being pulled apart, stuck in a tornado of possibilities. You see ideas and systems everywhere—but actually getting stuff done? That's the hard part.
For a long time, I was a mess. I'd jump on LinkedIn to check messages, and two minutes later, I'm on Wikipedia, dreaming up a Facebook Ads plan for some random idea. It wasn't working—I couldn't keep going like that. I kept changing directions all the time.
Today, I want to share a simple trick that helped me. I used to hate planning systems. They felt like they trapped my crazy thoughts. But then I figured something out: I was missing my secret weapon—my subconscious mind.
Your brain's got two parts working all the time: the conscious part (like a spotlight zooming in) and the subconscious (like a floodlight seeing everything).
Ever buy a car and suddenly see that car everywhere? That's your subconscious at work. Or maybe you've had an "AHA!" moment in the shower, or woke up with an answer to something? That's the floodlight doing its thing—spotting big patterns your spotlight misses.
For us multipassionate people, this makes a problem: we're too scattered. Too many ideas hit us at once, and it gets confusing. We don't get good results, and that can make us feel bitter.
Think of your subconscious like ChatGPT—it needs a clear push to work right. If it's all over the place, it can't help you.
The 4-Step System for Your Scattered Mind
Step 1: Get Ready
- Pick 3-5 things you want to get better at. Could be personal stuff or business stuff.
- Ask: Where do I want to be in 1 year? What's the real thing I want to have done?
- Example: "Build a YouTube community for multipassionate people, with 1 video a week."
- Don't stress about it being perfect. You can change it anytime.
Step 2: Break It Down to 90 Days
- Look at your big goal.
- Ask: What needs to happen in 90 days to get closer?
- 90 days is perfect—long enough to see progress, short enough to switch if you want.
This gives your subconscious some direction. It can start finding patterns and ideas, without getting lost in new shiny things.

This is the only system my scattered brain likes.
It's fast. It's about results. It lets me move quick with a plan.
