Focus vs. Routine: Which Drives Career Success? 🤔

Hey everyone! 👋 Came across an interesting article arguing that intense bursts of focus can be more effective than consistent habits for achieving goals. It definitely got me thinking about how we approach career development and job searching. We often hear about the importance of daily routines: applying to X number of jobs, networking for Y minutes, etc. But what about diving deep into a skill for a week, or dedicating a whole weekend to perfecting your resume? Could that intense, focused effort yield better results than a steady, but potentially less engaging, approach? 🧐 For example, instead of applying to one job a day, what if you spent one day researching target companies and tailoring your resume/cover letter to them? Or instead of 30 mins of LinkedIn networking daily, focus on attending 1 big networking event?. I'm curious to hear your thoughts! Do you find that focused sprints or consistent habits work best for *you*? Have you ever tried an 'intense focus' period to achieve a specific career goal? What strategies have you found to be most effective for maintaining focus and avoiding burnout during these periods? Let's share some experiences and insights! Looking forward to a lively discussion! 🚀
