If you fell off a large mountain once, you should learn something.

In my case, shiny object syndrome was a result of depression. I really wanted to feel enthusiasm to null depression, so I was looking for something that would also bring me excitement.
So, by sorting this out, figuring out all the reasons I'm depressed I can finally focus. I did that by giving in the shiny syndrome very hard, I stopped fighting against it.

It's a really hard question to answer, because on the other hand some things are worth giving up on.

But seriously i'd say just avoid burnout and dont work too hard. Also always have a plan and a clear goal.

The easiest way to get rid of that is to:
- Develop a plan. Make some long term goal like "I'll create godlike Xyz in 10 years". Prioritize that goal.
- Don't act like you're a corporate rat.
- Think for yourself.
- Assemble everything with our capitalism reality in mind. It's easy to forget we're not doing for the sake of doing, but there's also profit needed and it'd be better to build some small thing, then add small things that work together.

You don't want to run into a situation where you create 10 things that are incompatible with other things.

If you want to discover new stuff, don't stop. Discover by exercises, fun, discussion and playing. But don't change your priorities cause you discovered something new.

Thanks for the advice , that's a great one , the problem is that when you choose to lock in on one thing , you say no for all the other things and that's to me the hard part

Must be something you can indeed find passion in.

it's normal when starting
sometimes people quit too early
eventually all those little things add up and you hit the home run. afterwards you stick to that game and next shiny object isn't so shiny after all.

Reassure yourself that there are lots of opportunities to make money with a system BUT without full focus on one system, nothing will be made.

Write this down and read it every morning.

Stick to one thing that works. Others are distractions. Then once there is steady income, increase your networth by putting the money assets that can yield passive income.

Stick to one thing that works.

That works long term*. Like focus on writing mastery instead of just some simple articles.
Or focus on video mastery instead of just youtube.

Try anything, nothing is easy from the beginning

I just noticed it's about "SEO" and not "work in general". Oh f**k.

You want to do something because content creation and building properties gives you enjoyment there.

I choose YouTube. I know how to automate it. I know how to create cool video automatically. I know everything required to be a faceless YouTube idiot at many properties.

SEO is as far from pleasure as it can be for me. Heavy AI text based algorithms that are hellishly complicated to figure out and they have all that nonsense surrounding it like "sandbox" and "indexing", and myths, and more myths. It's just a giant pile of confusion.

No deep pockets? No math background? No heavy cold logic orientation? No SEO. Problem solved.
Most people won't be able to do SEO for financial and emotional reasons. It also has that "data science" element to it which makes things even worse.

So that's it. You see, I have many reasons to not get distracted.
