Have You Ever Been Caught Up in the FOMO of Knowledge and Experience?For example, you feel like you’re missing out on all the information. You want to read all the books. Suddenly, you order a bunch of books. But you can read very little. In my opinion, trying to have knowledge and experience in every field is the result of a kind of knowledge and experience FOMOs.
People want to learn everything. Especially if you are someone who is in the blockchain world, maybe it is not possible not to experience the FOMO I mentioned above? I know from myself that when I first entered this industry, I didn’t know where to start and what to read. I had downloaded dozens of pdf books and saved as many articles on my computer. After about 2.5 years, many of them still stand. It’s not time to read it.
I was also immersed in the experience fomo. While I wanted to work in marketing and learn software, I also wanted to be able to design and sell NFT. Of course, as a result, I found myself in a few months without specializing in anything.
So how did I overcome this? First, I convinced myself that I needed to choose areas of specialization.
In terms of knowledge, I decided to go over one or two ecosystems. These ecosystems became Ethereum and Polkadot. I’m still at the beginning of the process in this regard. Because as I read, I realize how big and variable the ecosystem is.
In terms of experience, I chose marketing for now. Since my general work experience is already in all sub-departments of marketing, I decided to concentrate on Digital Marketing in this sense.
So I got out of the vortex I had been in for a few months and started doing more productive work.
Have you ever been caught up in the fomo of knowledge and experience? Come on, share your experiences with me.
