True Generalist blog

There are some things that pretty much everybody should dabble in: fields where everybody should have, say, roughly two university courses' worth of knowledge. So we're all "necessary generalists," in the sense that we need to have these few things covered, even if we'd rather put all our focus into a single separate thing.

This hub page is about the meta-skills that all generalists should have—skills to help keep their lives in balance and avoid common pitfalls. This is a list of the skills and mindsets that I've found necessary to use myself, and I'll add to it in the future as more ideas come up or are suggested to me by others.
