I call it an "improvement sprint." Each month, pick a focus. For that month, find a mentor and focus on that one thing. Take notes on how you do. This lets you cycle through a focus each month and explore potential strengths. It also gives you enough focused time that you can see real results. Concentrated effort makes a big difference. Good luck! @Jack – here’s a technique that may work well for you. I call it an “improvement sprint.” Each month, pick a focus. For that month, find a mentor and focus on that one thing.

Most activities in my life seem to be no ability and all appetite at this point. It is hard to find something that you are passionate about, that you know you excel at, that you know will last a while and that you will continue to improve at.
