Celebrating Multipotentiality: Embracing Diverse Talents

Written on

Introduction to My Journey

Allow me to introduce myself. As noted in my Medium bio, I am a typical housewife navigating a plethora of opportunities, skills, and ideas, all while managing my time at home. Can you relate? Even with no children around, and sharing space with my family of four, I still struggle to find enough hours in the day to accomplish everything I aspire to. You might think that planning would alleviate this issue, but in my experience, it often falls short. While I manage to complete one or two tasks, I remain perplexed about what’s going wrong.

I am quite efficient with my daily household responsibilities, thanks to years of practice. Planning works well in that domain. To summarize, I've been married for three years and have never held a job outside the home—essentially, I’ve been a homemaker from the start. With a postgraduate degree in IT, I believed that in today's tech-driven world, one could achieve so much from home. However, my last two years navigating the online landscape have proven challenging.

Did I accomplish anything? Yes, I learned to use Bookbolt, set up paperbacks on Amazon KDP, and published a low-content book. However, I saw no returns. I also ventured into e-books on Amazon KDP, publishing a novel titled "Drainland" for pre-order. Unfortunately, I couldn't progress beyond the first two chapters, leading me to postpone the pre-order once and ultimately cancel the launch. Writing wasn’t the issue; I attempted to post on Wattpad, but lost interest before finishing.

I explored the cryptocurrency realm last year as well, learning to trade on platforms like Binance and OKX, making a modest profit but ultimately stepping away. I also launched a YouTube channel, opened a Shopify store, and started writing on Medium—all at once. However, I had to close the shop due to losses. My YouTube channel continues to fluctuate as I post technology-related videos, including gaming content and crypto reviews, though numerous videos remain unedited. Am I simply lazy?

A glimpse into my creative journey

The Realization of My Goals

Initially, I attributed my struggles to procrastination. However, while exploring Medium this month, I stumbled upon publications that provided valuable insights, albeit not in a positive light. I realized I had let myself down over the past two years. Ultimately, who holds more power over you than yourself? I degraded my self-worth and proved my fears right, not the opinions of those around me.

I have a passion for art; I collaborated with my sister on a stunning wall mural, enjoy photography, and love creating slow-motion and time-lapse videos. I also dabble in digital art.

I relish playing video games and want to showcase my gameplay for others to enjoy. I possess the intelligence to discern which cryptocurrencies to invest in—not just Bitcoin, for those wondering. My imagination is vivid enough to dream entire stories each night, and I write poetry, exploring themes of spirituality and mental health.

So, what’s preventing me from moving forward? Why do I feel stagnant while the world progresses? I find myself interested in everything yet nothing simultaneously. A heartfelt thank you to Erica L. Soerensen for shedding light on a potential explanation: the concept of being a multipotentialite.

Understanding Multipotentiality

“Multipotentiality refers to the diverse skills and interests individuals possess.” — Erica L. Soerensen

I find myself captivated by various interests and skills, yet struggle to manage them without fully understanding this phenomenon. It’s a mental overload! Thank you again, Erica L. Soerensen, for addressing the crucial need for balance—a vital element for any individual, but especially for a multipotentialite. I once feared this concept, but no longer will it hinder my progress.

After reflecting on my missteps over the last two years and gaining insights from Medium, I have devised a plan:

Writing Goals — My love for writing deserves priority. I aim to establish realistic goals, committing to at least three stories or articles each week until it becomes second nature. Farewell to writer’s block!

Activity Goals — Balancing household responsibilities with my interests will be complex, with only 5-6 hours available each day. However, it can be manageable if I find equilibrium. My proposed schedule includes:

  • Daily Writing - 2 hours (one after breakfast, one after dinner)
  • Daily Medium Engagement - 1 hour (reading and interacting with writers)
  • Daily Gaming - 2 hours (streaming and recording gameplay)
  • Daily Editing - 1 hour (video or digital art projects)

With this structure in place, I feel prepared and balanced.

Monetary Goals — I misjudged my expectations regarding online income. Inspired by Matteo DaVerona's insightful journey, I now recognize that it’s essential to maintain a realistic outlook. My new goal for this year is simply to earn $1 on Medium.

“Don’t stop trying until you make at least one dollar. Dedicate yourself to it.” — Matteo DaVerona

This is undoubtedly an eye-opening perspective.

Entertainment and Relaxation — Taking time to unwind is essential for creativity and mental health. In my downtime, I enjoy Netflix, family time, reading, listening to music, or watching exploration videos on YouTube. If given the chance, I would love to create those videos myself—yet another passion of mine.

Conclusion

Embracing multipotentiality is far more fulfilling than fearing it. I encourage everyone to uplift those around you who exhibit similar traits.
