01
You confuse variety with disorder.
Different fields can still share one center. The center is usually invisible until you force the pattern onto paper.
Interest mapping for serious generalists
Map your interests. Find the pattern.
The ORBIT Map turns scattered interests into a visible operating system. It shows what sits at the center, what is drifting, and what deserves your next serious bet.

The problem
Most people do not have too many interests. They have an unmapped system.
Without a map, every interest competes for attention. You keep asking what to focus on, but the better question is which interest explains the others.
02
You overvalue the loudest interest.
The thing getting attention this month may not be the thing with the deepest compounding value.
03
You keep old interests alive too long.
Some interests are rising. Some are useful bridges. Some are already dead and still consuming your calendar.
The framework
ORBIT gives every interest a role.
Instead of treating interests as a random list, ORBIT classifies them by function. That turns self-analysis into a working decision tool.
O
Origin
The hidden center. The drive that shows up across your interests, even when the surfaces look unrelated.
R
Reach
How far apart your interests sit in the real world, measured by tools, vocabulary, and customers.
B
Bridge
The single interest that connects the others. Usually undervalued. Often the highest leverage thing you do.
I
Inertia
The interest you could not stop even if you tried. Stated preferences lie. Inertia tells the truth.
T
Trajectory
The direction each interest is moving. Rising, plateaued, or fading. Most people refuse to mark anything fading.
