[how to] write a time investment thesis
When you build a portfolio career, or portfolio life, you need a time investment thesis. Having a thesis will ensure you invest your time and energy (your capital) into a portfolio of things that will bring you closer to a life that fulfills and excites you - something you're proud of (your returns).
While I recommend crafting your thesis in a way that feels authentic to you, a template to start with is:
I spend my time focusing on things that ______ , because I believe _____ and I want to leave a legacy of _____ .
My updated one for this year is:
I spend my time focusing on things that celebrate and supercharge humanity and human connection, because I believe with the advancement of AI this is the key to self-discovery, success, and the preservation of the heart of it all.
I want to leave a legacy of helping others survive in a new world by becoming larger versions of their human selves, instead of becoming smaller to fit into the algorithm, eventually disappearing altogether.
