Keep work fresh by teaching your successors and investing a bit in long-shots

In order to stay motivated and ensure job security, it is important to constantly seek out new tasks and challenges. Balancing risk and reward is essential to personal growth and long-term success. The suggested approach is to spend 80% of your time on low-risk, high-reward work, 15% on high-risk, high-reward work, and 5% on personal curiosity with no expectation of reward. By constantly seeking out new opportunities and teaching others to take on your previous tasks, you can continuously evolve and learn. While some may view this approach as a waste of time, it is important to indulge in personal curiosity and exploration in order to stay engaged and fulfilled in your career.
