Are you a Sybil (By Barbara Sher)

Amongst the various types of scanners described by Barbara Sher, I related most to "Sybil-type Scanners"

- can you name all the projects you'd love to work on?
- Have you been interested in most of them for a long time?
- Would you love to inish a project before you move to another, but you have almost never done that?
- Do you love insights, revelations, discoveries that make you say, "I never knew that"
- Are you afraid you'll never build a body of work, expertise, a reputation?

She even listed careers that would suit sybil scanners - to which I feel like I'm halfway there!

- Multiple income streams: This means using a no. of diff skills u enjoy to bring in all the income u need.

- The Good Enough Job: The Good Enough Job is a job that requires only 40 (or fewer) hours of your time per wk, provides security and has a nontoxic environment, meaning pleasant people to work with.

- A Home Business: Working at home running your own business might be ideal. You can follow your natural rhythms, take energynaps and walks - and work on projs when you have the right level of attention and are in the right frame of mind.

- Umbrella Careers: type of career that will allow u to enjoy doing many of the things you enjoy. If you like to write in addition to your other interests, consider being a freelance writer. Then you can write and research articles and even books on any subjs that interst u

- Consultant: find a job as a consultant in a field that interests u - you can build expertise and eventually command respect in that field. And you can still do all the other things you love on your own time.
