Buy and Hold, but I'm not talking about stocks

This is an investment strategy I was thinking could be applied to other areas of my life. A better name might be "Choose and Hold".

Let's be more practical. One of my goals for this year is to focus on a few things in each area and stick with them. Some examples:

  • Subscribe to ~3 channels in each area (investments, religion, technology, and entertainment) and watch only those.
  • Follow a few people on X (20 currently)
  • Have at most 5 personal projects (3 currently)

Why I'm doing this? There are some reasons:

  • Avoid getting trapped by the algorithm and distractions.
  • Be an active consumer: I choose what I consume.
  • Be selective: consume the best content.
  • Use time wisely: consuming less gives me more time to enjoy my choices.
