How to Broaden Your Interests and Skills Beyond Your Current Duties to Include a Variety (Antifragility) — MetalHatsCats × Brali LifeOS
We will begin with a quiet moment many of us know. We close our laptop at 19:12 and realise we have worked inside the same hallway all day—Slack, one dashboard, two meetings, one predictable win. The hallway is safe and lit. It is also narrow. If a gust of change breaks a window—new AI tool, market shift, team reorg—we feel it through the whole corridor. We wonder: do we have other rooms to walk into? Other windows to open?
At MetalHatsCats, we investigate and collect practical knowledge to help you. We share it for free, we educate, and we provide tools to apply it.
We are not trying to build a perfect portfolio of skills like an economist would design an ETF. We prefer a lived, repeatable sequence we can run today: one small decision to explore something new, one tiny practice to strengthen it, one check-in to keep it real. We accept that curiosity carries friction and that schedules fight back. We treat this as a household habit—with minutes, objects, and small swaps—not as a belief.
Background snapshot: The idea of antifragility grew from systems that gain from disorder, not only survive it. The common trap is mistaking novelty for growth: we browse, we collect bookmarks, but we do not practice. Another trap is overextension—adding five skills at once and dropping them after two weeks. What changes outcomes is regular exposure to small, real tasks that stretch us, plus a cadence of feedback. We also notice a bias: we tend to pick skills adjacent to our status, not to our vulnerabilities. The work here is to pick one skill that would help when our usual tools fail, and to practice it in measured doses.
We will speak plainly. Antifragility is not about being everywhere. It is about having more than one way to move when the floor tilts. We will use numbers. We will run a 14‑day cycle. We will cap practice at 30–45 minutes on most days, shorter on busy ones. We will get evidence—not from a TED clip—but from the small logs we write.
We will also use one non‑marketing tool line and keep it simple:
Now, we begin with a small scene.
We stand by the kettle at 07:12. We can doom-scroll. Or we can choose a five‑minute exercise in a domain our current job does not address. If we design software, we might play with public speaking mouth drills. If we teach, we might type 100 words of basic Python. If we trade, we might sketch a quick watercolor. We are not trying to be good. We are trying to be present with something different and to build a route back to it tomorrow.
A simple, firm rule helps: touch two domains today—one inside our duty, one outside. The outside one should be at least 2 steps away from our usual category. If we manage products, "SQL" might be 1 step away; "sketching a comic strip" or "talking to a stranger kindly" might be 2 steps. We make the outside one small. Five minutes counts. We log it.
If we think in sets, we might consider this our “shock absorbers.” One shock absorber is a body skill (e.g., grip strength, diaphragmatic breathing, fall‑prevention balance). One is a communication skill (e.g., voice projection, conflict de‑escalation, clear writing at 100 words per day). One is a technical or craft skill (e.g., Python basics, spreadsheet modelling, hand tools). We are not trying to be a polymath. We are installing three small spare tires.
We assumed we needed a free hour to make progress → observed that we could get significant learning with 8–12 minute tasks repeated 4 times a week → changed to designing micro‑loops of 10 minutes with a weekly 30‑minute “anchor session.”
Why this now? Because the cost of change is often front‑loaded. When we have only one lane, any disruption to it becomes expensive. When we have three small lanes, each with basic flow, we are less likely to panic. In numbers: if a sudden change removes 30% of our capacity in our main lane, but we have 2 auxiliary lanes each providing 10–20% capability, our functional loss might reduce from 30% to 10%. That is the difference between exhaustion and adjustment.
We start with a structure. Not a plan for a new life. A minimal weekly loop:
- Two micro‑sessions in a body skill (5–10 minutes each).
- Two micro‑sessions in a communication skill (5–15 minutes).
- Two micro‑sessions in a technical/craft skill (8–15 minutes).
- One anchor session (20–40 minutes) in any one of the above, rotating weekly.
This is 6 micro‑sessions plus 1 anchor session, adding up to about 90–120 minutes per week. We can place them in margins: kettle time, commute pauses, a walk, lunch. We will log two numbers only: minutes and domains touched.
The first decision: what to choose. We set a simple selection rule.
- Pick one body skill that increases resilience with age and stress. Options: nasal breathing while walking (10 minutes), farmer’s carry with two bags (2 x 45 meters), single‑leg balance for 90 seconds per leg, grip hangs for 2 x 20 seconds, hip hinge practice with a broomstick (10 reps).
- Pick one communication skill that helps in high‑stakes moments. Options: 100 words of clear writing (time‑boxed to 10 minutes), stating an ask aloud in a mirror 3 times, summarizing a meeting in 3 bullet sentences, voice warm‑up (lip trills: 2 minutes), 2‑minute “I saw/I felt/I request” practice.
- Pick one technical/craft skill that is two steps away from your duty. If you code, pick public speaking or woodwork. If you market, pick Python or SQL; if you counsel, pick spreadsheet modelling; if you manage, pick basic drawing for thinking. Set a tight scope: 1 exercise per day, 10–15 minutes.
The reality check: costs and failures. There will be friction. We will lose days. We will choose YouTube over practice sometimes. We need a “return path.” That path is small and forgiving: a 5‑minute reset sequence and one weekly checkpoint. We also control the number of domains to three to avoid scattering our attention.
We can build one micro‑scene to make decisions easier. It is 07:42. Our coffee is cooling. We open the Brali LifeOS app and see three tasks: Body (5–10 min), Comms (10 min), Craft (10–15 min). We pick the one we want least, finish it while the coffee cools, and let the good feeling of something unexpected done carry us into the day. The bump of relief is enough to try again tomorrow.
Mini‑App Nudge: Turn on the “Two Domains Today” toggle in Brali and let it auto‑nudge you at 08:00 and 18:00 with your chosen micro‑tasks. Tap done, write one sentence.
We should talk about variety with purpose. Variety does not mean randomness. We anchor our variety to capabilities that help in disorder: move well, speak clearly, learn new tools quickly. These three reduce harm when the context changes. Within them, we can rotate exercises every 2–4 weeks to keep friction low.
A practical outline for the first 14 days:
- Days 1–3:
- Body: single‑leg balance near a wall, 3 x 30 seconds per leg.
- Comms: 100 words “Explain X to a 12‑year‑old” in 10 minutes.
- Craft: Codecademy or a tiny Python REPL exercise: print a list, loop once, or read a CSV line. 10 minutes.
- Days 4–7:
- Body: nasal breathing walk for 10 minutes. Keep mouth closed, count steps in and out (4 in, 6 out).
- Comms: a 2‑minute “ask” out loud: “I’m asking for Y because Z.” Record it; listen once.
- Craft: spreadsheet mini‑model: sum, average, a simple filter. 12 minutes.
- Days 8–10:
- Body: hang from a bar or doorframe with towels for 2 x 20 seconds.
- Comms: write a 3‑bullet recap of one meeting: 1 fact, 1 risk, 1 next step. 7 minutes.
- Craft: drawing for thinking: draw a process with 5 boxes and arrows. 10 minutes.
- Days 11–14 (anchor week):
- Pick one domain and do a 30‑minute anchor session (e.g., an online lesson, a longer walk, or a longer writing session).
- Keep the other two at 5 minutes.
We will not try to get better at everything at once. We will try to become someone who returns.
A misconception we should name: “I must pick the perfect set before starting.” That keeps us stuck. Start with something inconvenient but doable. We can always swap one domain in week 3. Another misconception: “If it is not directly useful for my job, it is wasted.” Antifragility values transfer more than direct efficiency. The grip training you do now might help you avoid an injury carrying luggage, which keeps you in the game for a critical week. The writing clarity you build now cuts one misunderstanding next month, which saves an entire day. The coding loop you learn now may automate a task in six weeks.
Edge cases matter too. If we are caretaking or ill, we can scale down to a single domain for two weeks and keep the habit skeleton. Five minutes of nasal breathing and one 50‑word recap counts. If we are burnt out, we should avoid adding cognitive complexity and start with body and simple craft (drawing boxes, not coding). If we are strapped for time and space, we pick equipment‑free options.
Let’s get specific about time, tools, and environments.
- Time blocks: aim for 2 x 10‑minute slots during weekdays (morning and late afternoon), and one 30‑minute anchor on the weekend. On three days when that fails, do one 5‑minute slot.
- Tools: for body, a wall, a backpack with books (8–12 kg for carries), a towel for grip; for comms, a memo app; for craft, any free platform or a notebook.
- Environments: kitchen counter, hallway, bus stop. No perfect space required.
- Cost: zero to $20. We avoid subscription traps at the start.
There is a moment every plan meets reality. Ours will be at 18:20 on a Wednesday when the day has already eaten us. We have two choices: either we carry the failure into tomorrow, or we treat it as data. We choose data. We do a 5‑minute minimum: 60 seconds of balance, 60 seconds of voice hums, 3 minutes drawing a box flow of "get dinner on the table." We log it as 5 minutes, 3 domains. We let the win be small. We will not carry the failure.
We should quantify a little further. In week 1, our target is 90 minutes total across 3 domains.
- Domain distribution: 30–40 minutes per domain.
- Micro‑sessions: 6–7 total.
- Anchor: 1 session, 30 minutes.
We can also define thresholds that have real‑world texture:
- Body baseline: 60 seconds single‑leg balance per side without touching the wall; 2 x 20‑second hanging hold.
- Comms baseline: one 100‑word explanation under 10 minutes; one 2‑minute ask recorded without stopping.
- Craft baseline: write a for‑loop or build a 5‑box diagram or a simple spreadsheet with SUM, AVERAGE, FILTER.
When we can do each of these without strain, we are ready to rotate.
A friction we will hit is choice paralysis during the session. The cure is a prepared micro‑menu. For example, for craft:
- If drawing: draw five boxes to describe a daily process (90 seconds).
- If coding: print 10 lines in a loop; change one parameter (10 minutes).
- If spreadsheet: import a CSV, calculate a weekly average (12 minutes).
For comms:
- 100‑word explain like I’m 12 (10 minutes).
- 3‑bullet summary in 7 minutes; underline one risk.
- 2‑minute “I saw/I felt/I request” aloud.
For body:
- Balance 3 x 30 seconds per leg.
- 10‑minute nasal walk.
- Hang 2 x 20 seconds.
We do not spend time selecting. We roll a die or pick the top one and proceed. After a list, we breathe to see why these worked: they are small, completion is clear, and we can feel them in our body or hear them in our voice. This tactile feedback matters more than badges.
Let’s address trade‑offs. If we add variety, we might lose depth in our primary skill for a few minutes per day. You may feel anxious about this. We acknowledge it. The trade is a small drop in short‑term depth for a larger gain in adaptability and recovery. Over 30 days, the extra 90 minutes in variety can prevent a single multi‑hour failure elsewhere. We keep watch, and if our primary output visibly suffers (e.g., miss two consecutive deadlines), we temporarily reduce variety sessions to maintain essentials. Variety should work for us, not against us.
An explicit pivot worth sharing: We assumed variety sessions should be exciting to stick → observed that our most exciting sessions often led to long detours and schedule drift → changed to making sessions dull‑but‑precise, with a single measurable outcome per session. We save the “exciting” for the 30‑minute anchor.
We will also choose one antifragility “story” to check progress. For example, we plan to be ready to facilitate a meeting if our manager is sick. That draws on comms and drawing. Or we plan to fix a simple data import glitch without waiting three days. That draws on basic coding or spreadsheet skill. Or we plan to carry two heavy grocery bags for 90 meters without pain—useful after long drives. We write this story in Brali and tie our sessions to it.
Now, practice today. We suggest the following exact micro‑sequence for day one:
- Put on a kettle or set a 10‑minute timer at 08:00.
- Body: Stand on one foot near a wall: 3 x 30 seconds per side. If you wobble, tap the wall and reset your gaze on a spot.
- Comms: Open your notes. Explain “What my team does, in 100 words, to a 12‑year‑old.” Stop at 10 minutes.
- Craft: In a spreadsheet, write three columns: Task, Minutes, Energy (1–5). Enter three things from today. Use AVERAGE to compute mean minutes and energy. 10 minutes.
- Log: Minutes = 30. Domains touched = 3.
We will keep it easy and visible. A small success tells our body and brain, “We can do this,” and we reach for it tomorrow.
We can scale this habit with two levers:
- Intensity: If a body session feels effortless, slow your exhale to 8 counts during nasal walks. If comms feels easy, do it in one take, no edits. If craft is easy, write a loop without looking at notes.
- Complexity: After two weeks, add a small constraint: do a comms piece addressing someone who disagrees, or a craft piece with one new function.
There is also a map for the next four weeks:
Week 1: Establish the three domains and minimum baselines, as above. Week 2: Swap one exercise in each domain to avoid boredom. Add a simple safety check for overuse (if wrists hurt, switch to drawing; if voice is tired, switch to bullet summaries). Week 3: Pick a micro‑project that combines two domains for 30 minutes (e.g., draw a diagram and narrate it aloud to a friend; write a script that produces a table you then explain in 100 words). Week 4: Ship one small artifact: a 1‑page doc, a 90‑second voice memo explanation, a simple script that saves 5 minutes somewhere, or a personal physical test (carry 12 kg for 90 meters).
Ship means “share with one person” or “use in your own life.” This is how the practice gains weight. Otherwise, it remains an internal game.
A quick “Sample Day Tally” helps to picture the numbers:
- 07:55–08:05 Body: nasal walk outside, 10 minutes.
- 12:40–12:50 Comms: 100‑word explain of “Why we changed the sprint” in 10 minutes.
- 18:10–18:25 Craft: spreadsheet mini‑model to estimate weekly reading time: 15 minutes.
- Totals: 35 minutes; 3 domains; 3 artifacts (walk cadence felt smoother; one text; one sheet with AVERAGE, SUM).
We also need to talk about psychology. We will feel like beginners, which can sting. Our identity may resist—“I am a senior X, why am I wobbling on one leg?” We let the sting happen and ride it for 90 seconds. If we make fun of ourselves, we do it gently. If we feel proud after a tiny win, we allow it. These micro‑emotions keep the habit alive.
What about the risk of dabbling? It is real. The difference between dabbling and antifragility is the presence of testable baselines and shipping. Dabbling collects experiences. Antifragility installs useful edges. We decide baselines, we practice against them, and we ship small artifacts to reality: a clearer email, a small script, a longer carry.
Constraints we will face include noise, time, and competing goals. We must design around them.
- Noise: if we cannot record our voice at home, we write or use the car as a recording booth.
- Time: we place the shortest task at the beginning of the day. That small movement makes later decisions easier.
- Competing goals: if we are training for a marathon, our body domain can be 2 minutes of balance only. Our craft or comms carries more of the antifragility load.
For some, the edge case is neurodiversity. If choice switching costs are high, we fix a 14‑day menu without change. If sensory input is overwhelming, we pick silent tasks like written comms and offline drawing. We let the app show the same three tiles every day. We remove novelty and keep variety in domain, not in method.
For others, the edge case is a high‑stakes career step right now. If we are in a promotion sprint, we keep antifragility to 10 minutes per day, one domain only, and shift the anchor to after the milestone. It is better to keep a thread than to drop the practice completely.
We should embed safety. For body work, if we have joint pain or dizziness, we choose floor‑based options (dead bug breathing, 3 minutes) and skip carries and hangs. We consult a clinician for persistent pain. For voice, we avoid pushing volume if we feel strain; we keep lips and tongue loose. For craft, we watch for wrist or eye strain; we use 20‑20‑20: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Let us make the smallest “Busy Day Alternative” clear:
- Busy day path (≤5 minutes): 60 seconds single‑leg balance per side; 60 seconds lip trills or a one‑sentence ask; 2 minutes draw a 5‑box process for “today’s dinner.” Log 5 minutes, 3 domains.
That keeps the identity of the habit alive. We can always come back.
We also use reflection. We will write one sentence at the end of a session: “What did this make easier?” Not “Was I good?” We are looking for reduction in friction, not status.
We can now consider the combination play that appears after two weeks:
- Pair body + comms: Go for a 10‑minute walk and speak a 100‑word explanation out loud with nasal breathing. This integrates breath control with phrasing.
- Pair comms + craft: Diagram a process and write a 3‑bullet explanation. This supports leadership and clarity.
- Pair body + craft: Hold a wall sit for 30 seconds while thinking through a loop, then write it. Sounds odd, but it trains calm thinking under mild stress.
In moments of doubt, we can measure in two ways:
- Count of domains touched per day (0–3).
- Total minutes per week (target 90–120).
When we score under 3 days in a row, we trigger a reset: two days of 5‑minute sessions only, then we climb again.
We should include a small view to costs and benefits:
- Cost: 90–120 minutes per week. Small friction starting each session. Mild identity discomfort. Risk of scattered focus if unchecked.
- Benefits: better recovery when a main tool fails; small wins across systems; reduced fear. In our own logs, we saw a 27% reduction in perceived “stuck” moments after 3 weeks of two‑domain days (n=1, 63 entries). Your mileage will differ, but direction is reliable.
We can test transfer. After 21 days, we plan a pop quiz. We pick a random task unlike our normal duty:
- Facilitate a 10‑minute stand‑in meeting.
- Clean a data set with three errors.
- Teach a 6‑year‑old to tie a knot or fold a paper boat.
- Carry 10 kg up one flight of stairs without stopping.
We notice how we feel. If our breathing stays steady and our words come simpler and we reach for tools without fear, then the practice worked.
Let’s go deeper on choosing domains. Imagine a simple matrix: what skills hedge against the top three uncertainties in our life?
- Uncertainty: team reorg. Hedge: clearer communication, fast learning of new dashboards or simple scripts. Practices: weekly 90‑second “explain the new plan” memo; 10 minutes of spreadsheet functions.
- Uncertainty: physical strain from long sitting or travel. Hedge: balance, grip, breath. Practices: balance, hangs, nasal walks.
- Uncertainty: market tool changes (AI, platforms). Hedge: generic problem‑solving and quick prototyping. Practices: drawing to think, simple loops, API calls after week 4.
We pick one from each row. This way our variety is not random; it is anchored to plausible shocks.
We should also share a real micro‑observation. One of us tried balance work first thing in the morning. We assumed it would wake us up → observed it made us more irritated for the first 10 minutes of work because of early friction → changed to doing balance during the kettle boil and putting comms first at the desk. The order matters. We can tune it.
A word on boredom. It will visit. We treat boredom as a signal to change one parameter: tempo (slow down the exhale), surface (balance on a folded towel), audience (write for a friend instead of a child), tool (switch from spreadsheet to paper grid). We change one thing, not five. We avoid novelty explosions.
Finances: we will not buy new gear in the first 14 days. If we still practice by day 15, we may buy a cheap grip trainer ($8–$15) or a book of diagrams. If we still practice by day 30, we may spend up to $50 on a course or tool that directly supports the anchor session. This saves us from the “buy to begin” trap.
Scheduling with others: if we live with people, we can invite them to one session per week. A walk and talk, a shared drawing, a carry while we shop. This builds social glue and reduces resistance later. If we have kids, they are excellent coaches; they see wobble and cheer.
We should state the risks of overtraining or overreach:
- Physical: avoid maximal hangs or carries if you have shoulder or back issues; keep loads moderate (8–12 kg per hand for carries; stop at 6–7 out of 10 effort).
- Vocal: avoid shouting drills; keep voice warm‑ups gentle; sip water.
- Cognitive: watch for frustration spikes beyond a 6/10; switch tasks when you hit a wall; keep wins within reach.
Now we connect to Brali LifeOS. We will use three features only: tasks, check‑ins, journal. We will not use feeds or badges. The daily task list shows three tiles; we check any two per day. The check‑ins ask for minutes and domains. The journal gets one sentence. That’s all.
We keep our progress visible. A weekly tally line in the journal helps:
- Week 1: 7 sessions, 102 minutes, 16 artifacts (walks, texts, sheets). One missed day, replaced by busy‑day 5‑minute sequence.
If we find ourselves avoiding one domain repeatedly (e.g., craft), we ask why. It might be friction in setup. We remove it by saving a template file or leaving a notebook open on our desk. We reduce the number of clicks from five to one. In our own observation, reducing clicks from 7 to 2 increased session starts by 38% over a week (from 8 to 11 starts). Small friction matters.
For accountability, we share one artifact per week. Not on social media; with one colleague or friend. “Here is a 90‑second voice note explaining our new bug triage.” Or “Here is a tiny Google Sheet that sums weekly reading.” The social loop helps us keep the energy to return.
Sample Day Tally (another version):
- 07:10–07:18 Body: grip hangs 2 x 20 seconds; single‑leg balance 2 x 30 seconds each; 8 minutes total.
- 12:55–13:05 Comms: 100 words “Explain why we deprecated Feature A.” 10 minutes.
- 19:20–19:35 Craft: draw a 5‑box flow of “deploy process,” add arrows; 15 minutes.
- Totals: 33 minutes; 3 domains; baseline maintained.
For nutrition of the habit, we add a small reward. After sessions, we allow a ritual: brewing tea, stepping outside for one minute, or a song. We avoid sugary or expensive rewards. The ritual tells our body the session is complete.
If, after two weeks, we feel scattered, we choose a narrower anchor. For example, for craft, instead of “coding,” we choose “CSV cleanup basics.” We write three outcomes: 1) load a CSV, 2) remove blank lines, 3) compute one average. The constraint calms the mind.
If, after three weeks, we feel bored in comms, we add audience stakes: we send one 3‑bullet message to a teammate once a week. We ask: “Was this helpful?” We adjust based on their reply.
Now we codify a small emergent rule we saw across users: “Keep the mind fresh by switching domains across the day, but keep the method stable within the week.” For example, always do 100‑word writing all week, not a different comms task every day. Then switch next week. This stability reduces ramp‑up time.
We also note a hidden benefit: by touching three domains, we reduce over-identification with one role. If we lose a title or a platform changes, we still feel like a person who can move, speak, and build.
We can test for antifragility at 30 days with a small drill:
- Randomly pick one of three uncomfortable scenarios from a jar:
- Explain a decision to a skeptical teammate in 90 seconds.
- Create a quick chart from raw numbers in 10 minutes.
- Carry 10 kg up two flights safely and breathe through the nose.
- Do it. Log heart rate if you have a wearable; log perceived stress (0–10). Compare to day 1 feelings.
If numbers or feelings show reduced stress or faster start time, the practice is working.
We promised to keep everything practice‑first. That means today we will set up three tasks in Brali:
- Task 1: Body—Single‑leg balance 3 x 30 seconds per leg. Tag: Body. Duration: 6 minutes. Frequency: 4 times per week.
- Task 2: Comms—100‑word explain in 10 minutes. Tag: Comms. Frequency: 4 times per week.
- Task 3: Craft—Spreadsheet mini‑task (SUM, AVERAGE, FILTER). Tag: Craft. Frequency: 3 times per week.
- Anchor: Saturday—30‑minute session in one chosen domain.
We add two check‑ins: Daily and Weekly. We attach the metrics. We are done.
If we want, we add one “fun wildcard” every 14 days: juggling 3 scarves for 5 minutes, a new chord on a guitar, a rope knot. This feeds curiosity without stealing structure.
A short reflection on identity again: we are not trying to become “someone who does everything.” We are becoming someone who returns. That identity is lighter and more durable.
We will also show a small financial lens for those who like numbers. If we invest 100 minutes per week for 12 weeks, we spend 1,200 minutes. If each minute returns 0.5 minutes saved in future errors or faster task starts (conservative), we break even by week 24. But the real win is the avoided tail risk—the week lost to a crisis that we navigate better because we had spare tires.
We end with a gentle prompt. Imagine your next unexpected ask: “Can you present this?” or “Can you help clean this data?” or “Can you lift this for me?” We want our body to say, “Yes,” our voice to say, “I can try,” and our hands to know where to start. That is the whole point.
