What skill have you developed in the last five years?
Ask most knowledge workers what skills they've developed in the last five years, and the honest answer is "email, instant messaging, and meetings." Not exactly skills you can sell. And AI is making it worse.https://nathans.blog/2026/05/15/what-skill-have-you-developed-in-the-last-five-years/

“Always know that real progress is often invisible, boring, repetitive.” - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Your success will often not involve huge home runs that have you cheering with joy. It will come about through small bunts, working the bases, advancing slowly but surely towards a goal, and muttering about the pace.
Treat your progress as such.
Right now, this can be a challenge. After all, we live in a "highlight reel" culture. We see the successful keynote, the published book, or the smooth career pivot and assume that it all happened in a flash of inspiration. But in my 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the most profound breakthroughs and the biggest wins are rarely the result of a sudden lightning bolt. They are the result of the quiet, daily discipline of showing up when it feels like nothing is changing. Playing the clubs. Putting in the work. Advancing slowly but steadily.
I did a lot of small events in rural America and small towns in Canada before I hit the big stages of Las Vegas. It was often boringly dull, excruciatingly tiring, and sometimes, with a detached audience, not terribly motivating. But through that, I learned that success is often built on "invisible progress." The small steps that get you closer to a big goal.
For me, success and learning are about the hundredth hour spent in the lab struggling with a Linux configuration.
It’s the years of writing a Daily Inspiration post without missing a single workday.
It’s the repetitive act of studying a disruptive trend long before the world notices it.
It was spending time on stages that sometimes I did not want to be on.
Most people quit during this "boring" phase. They mistake the lack of immediate feedback for a lack of progress. They want the dopamine hit of a "win" every day. But as a practitioner, you have to realize that you are building up your skills, capabilities, and knowledge.
The amateur waits for the quick hit.
The master relies on patience and effort.
Success isn't a sprint; it’s the compound interest of your daily discipline.

"It’s harder than they tell you, and more rewarding than you imagine.” - Futurist Jim Carroll

--Most people want the future to be a smooth, linear progression; their career to follow the same path. And in that context, they want any business or career pivot to feel like a graceful turn on a dance floor.
That will never be the case.
But in my own voyage through several decades of being self-employed - a member of the global freelander economy -I’ve learned that it can often feel like a grueling, uphill climb in a windstorm. Running a business, reinventing your identity, and staying ahead of the curve is significantly harder than the books and the "gurus" ever tell you.
But here is the secret: The struggle is what makes you succeed.
If the path to the future were easy, everyone would be there already. The "difficulty" is actually a protective barrier that weeds out those who aren't fully committed. Throughout my career, the moments that felt the most difficult - the technical failures, the market shifts that wiped out old revenue streams, the long nights in the "lab" (Lesson **#16**) learning new things, were exactly the moments that were building the most value.
After all, hardship is where your expertise is forged.
When you realize that the struggle and difficulty are a mandatory part of the process, you stop trying to avoid it and start trying to master it. There's no doubt that carving out your own path and then pivoting when you need to is way harder than they tell you. It will exhaust you, challenge your certainty, and occasionally make you wonder why you didn't just take a "safe" job.
But the rewards along the way? Incomparable. Overwhelming. Mind-bogglingly satisfying! The freedom of the "Infinite Pivot"?
It’s worth more than you can imagine!---
Futurist Jim Carroll knows that successful careers are those that have the most volatility along the way!

"Invest in your own experience. Do the work." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Yesterday, I told you to waste time on frivolous things.
I encouraged you to play with the "toys" that others dismiss, because that’s where the future hides. But once you find a "toy" that hums with the signal of a major disruptive trend, you have to make a choice: do you stay a spectator, or do you become a practitioner?
The Infinite Pivot requires you to move from "playing" to "doing," and in doing so, developing the critical skills and insight you need to successfully pivot into your next version of you.
A key philosophy I’ve followed throughout my 36-year voyage is that if I’m going to speak or write about a disruptive trend, I’ve got to have hands-on experience with it. I refuse to be a "slideshow strategist" who simply repeats what they read in a trade magazine. If I haven't touched it, I don't feel I have the right to talk about it.
It's one thing to see the "frivolous" potential of a trend; it's another to understand its soul.
So with that being the case, I learn through doing.
Linux as a foundation? I didn't just read about it; I became a Linux geek, building and managing the very server infrastructure that powers my digital presence. Smart home trends? I didn't just buy a hub; I built a living laboratory of interconnected sensors and complex logic. Self-driving cars? I didn't just watch the videos; I invested ten grand in Tesla's FSD. (The hands-on "phantom braking" moments taught me more about the reality of AI than any white paper ever could, and the fact it won't be real for quite some time. DNA-based preventative medicine? I didn't just track the news; I had my 23andMe done and took a deep dive into my personal healthcare genome to see the future of personalized wellness firsthand.
Do you get the point? I can’t go on stage and speak about future trends if I don't have a deep, visceral understanding of those trends.
In an era of shallow, AI-generated summaries and surface-level takes, your greatest competitive advantage is tactile truth. While everyone else is talking about the future, you are busy wiring it. Putting it together.Making it real. Getting into the weeds with it.
Don't just watch the future happen.
Get your hands dirty.
Put in the work.

(The hands-on "phantom braking" moments taught me more about the reality of AI than any white paper ever could, and the fact it won't be real for quite some time. DNA-based preventative medicine? I didn't just track the news; I had my 23andMe done and took a deep dive into my personal healthcare genome to see the future of personalized wellness firsthand.
Do you get the point? I can’t go on stage and speak about future trends if I don't have a deep, visceral understanding of those trends.
In an era of shallow, AI-generated summaries and surface-level takes, your greatest competitive advantage is tactile truth. While everyone else is talking about the future, you are busy wiring it. Putting it together.Making it real. Getting into the weeds with it.
Don't just watch the future happen.
Get your hands dirty.
Put in the work.

"Invest in your own experience. Do the work." - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Yesterday, I told you to waste time on frivolous things.
I encouraged you to play with the "toys" that others dismiss, because that’s where the future hides. But once you find a "toy" that hums with the signal of a major disruptive trend, you have to make a choice: do you stay a spectator, or do you become a practitioner?
The Infinite Pivot requires you to move from "playing" to "doing," and in doing so, developing the critical skills and insight you need to successfully pivot into your next version of you.
A key philosophy I’ve followed throughout my 36-year voyage is that if I’m going to speak or write about a disruptive trend, I’ve got to have hands-on experience with it. I refuse to be a "slideshow strategist" who simply repeats what they read in a trade magazine. If I haven't touched it, I don't feel I have the right to talk about it.
It's one thing to see the "frivolous" potential of a trend; it's another to understand its soul.
So with that being the case, I learn through doing.

I love the way the trees' shadows fall over the scene, like it's the beginning or end of the day in this little nook. Someone made a shelf right into the wall, with tile and everything, just for plants and things... I was thinking about how the difference between a painting of and a photograph of this scene is that the painter spent hours working on this, and that is included in its impact. She spent HOURS on this. The love is worked into the image.
It's really well-done, she makes it look easy, plants are just like that, and I love them too. The little top, also perfect.

Success isn't reaching a destination; it’s mastering the art of the infinite pivot." - Futurist Jim Carroll
I walked out of the corporate world 36 years ago to bet on a home office, a fledgling new technology known as the Internet, and a belief that the future belongs to those who can change.
I’ve learned a lot along the way! Through those years, I’ve survived market crashes, massive technology revolutions, and the beautiful chaos of raising a family in the same rooms and homes where I wrote 44 books. All along the way, I’ve learned what it means to pivot — to change my career focus, reinvent my skills, adjust my personal outlook, rebalance my time commitments. Every single time, I was somehow pivoting, changing, and adapting.
I meant to share these lessons at Year 35 — I wrote a long post last year with some thoughts on what I’ve learned. I haven't shared it yet —I wanted to get the lessons right.
But the other day, I stumbled across it and realized I had powerful insight to share. Many people around the world are in the early years of the freelance economy; it might be useful. Given how quickly AI is evolving, there will probably be more.
With that in mind, I’ve distilled my journey into this new series: The Art of the Infinite Pivot.
I’ve come to realize that the delay was actually part of the journey. In a world obsessed with “instant” and “real-time,” I’ve learned that the best insights are the ones that have been lived, tested, and breathed for decades.
Over the next few months, I’m going to share them one by one — not as a “guru,” but as someone who has spent 36 years in the trenches of the home office and global freelance economy. Whether you are a solo-entrepreneur, a corporate leader considering t a pivot, or someone just trying to build a new future, I hope these lessons help you navigate your own voyage.
Lesson **#1** drops tomorrow. The series will be found here and at https://pivot.jimcarroll.com.
Who’s coming along?

Oh joy, another riveting tome on #Linux #APIs that promises to revolutionize your #coding life by teaching you the art of navigating #GitHub menus. 🤦♂️ It's like reading a novel where the plot is a never-ending scroll through copilot settings. 💤 Because nothing screams "programming mastery" like mastering the intricacies of #tool #integrations. 🙄

Infrastructure Win: Standardized the "Accumulator" pattern across the worker relay. Each Lambda adds metadata without stripping the previous girl’s work. By the time it hits the finale bridge, we have a full "pedigree" of the data journey. Building a system that doesn't just work, but remembers. 5 down, 9 to go.

I seldom agree with critics' remarks such as:
• "This show was way better than it needed to be."
• "We don't deserve such beautiful music."
• "This book had no business being this good."
If taken literally, I mean.
My usual opinion is that art which is less-than-good shouldn't be offered to the public in the first place. Because I want high artistic quality to be the norm. To be the normal public expectation.
Making art is nearly always worthwhile for its creator, even if not good. And it typically deserves charity, too. Yet I think its audience ought to remain small unless the creator has achieved #mastery, or come close.
How much a work of art is able to benefit its creator is rarely matched by how much it is able to benefit society in general. If it benefits society in general at all...that takes lots of practice, wisdom, and sacrifice.
Remember Sturgeon's law.
Of course I'm not saying PEOPLE should stay hidden unless they meet a high standard. I'm only saying that their CREATIONS should. It's all right for people to have highs and lows, middles, and whatever else.
Um, my viewing of the movie KPOP DEMON HUNTERS prompted me to write that last paragraph for clarification. Figuring that Generation Alpha needs it. As well as some dear older folks, maybe.

Western learning is linear; mastery is cyclical. A new article will show exactly why the Japanese concept of Shu Ha Ri offers a more effective path to true expertise than conventional Western methods. Is it time to unlearn how we learn?
