This is such a cool description of the phenomena, Henrik! And I really appreciated reading how you implemented it into your own life.
I have a concrete example of focus + skill development:

I have a concrete example of focus + skill development:
I am learning both Lindy Hop and Dragonboat at the same time. I am happy with this decision, because I wanted my life to have both. However, I am learning both much, much slower than if I chose one, and focused on it.
With both my week looks like:
* Dragonboat practice twice-a-week.
* Lindy Hop classes once-a-week or attending a social dance once-a-week.
My friend who focuses on dragonboat solely does:
* Outrigger canoe paddling 1-2 times a week
* Dragonboat practice twice-a-week
We both started at the same time, but she is miles better than me on every measurable level.
My friend who solely does lindy hop social dancing:
* Class once-a-week
* Social dancing 1-2 times a week
Also, miles more advanced on every measurable level.
I would rather be making slow progress on both at the same time at this point (though, debating switching to a model where I lindy hop when it is cold, and paddle when it is warm), but it illustrative to see how much of a skill trade-off that decision had.
