Focus is learned behavior. You practice it. By being present in your life. You notice you're distracted and pull yourself out. Over and over again. Like a muscle. It gets stronger every time you bring it back. But modern life is designed to destroy it. Every notification. Every scroll. Every autoplay video pulling you to the next thing before you've finished the first. You're distracted because you're human fighting an inhuman amount of stimulation. And the only way back is boredom.
Urgency kills your vibe. Be slow. Be intentional. Figure out what you really wanna do, and then give it your full attention. Really get into it. Read about it. Sit with it. Get a little obsessed. Donโt rush to copy how others do it. Learn from them, yes. But then step away. And then, do it your own way. What I've learned is that when you move slowly, you go deeper. And when you go deeper, your work starts to feel real. More authentic. It contains your soul's fingerprint. It may not be perfect. But it will be yours. And trust me, thatโs what gives it meaning.
I have learnt that there is a major difference between master investors and amateurs.
The amateurs have a sense of desperation for returns while the masters can totally surrender to the market forces.
Masters can wait with immense patience for the markets to come in their favour and it always does, although at its own volition and pays them handsomely for it.
As for the amateurs, the market smells the desperation from a mile and ensures they make nothing.
@jaiz30 Hey @jaiz30 It's pretty standard formula.
Calculate daily return of portfolio accounting for cashflows. Apply this daily return to a starting value of say 100 or 1000 and you get the NAV time-series.
