I’m bad at not being curious about things. There are a few things that I have elected to not be curious about, like the details of bicycle maintenance (easily a rabbit hole I could fall down). The list is not long, of those things. And there are some things that I have a hard time being curious about, that I wish I was more curious about, like baseball, cycling as a spectator sport, and playing chess. Those first two I thoroughly enjoy watching, but stats and stuff, it’s difficult. Maybe it’s the memorization/association about specific names? Names are hard. Anatomy, I’ve got a slight allergy to that one.
Ok, those things aside, I’m basically insatiably curious about almost everything else. Like it can be a problem, because when you are curious about too much stuff, you never settle down on any one thing. Something else always beckons; they’re all rabbit holes. There is never enough time, because, well, there isn’t enough time for all that stuff.
I should be more intentional about what curiosity I engage with. Maybe something like 80% of my “free” curious time on topics that I know I am happily curious about, and the other 20% free range? Probably still too many topics in that 80%. I’m going to need a twelve step program here. But, I’m not making any firm decisions right now, just putting this out there.
There isn’t really a wrong answer here, just maybe ones that net out more enjoyment than others. On an individual preference basis.
