AI makes me feel like one of those chess masters playing twenty games at once.

You’ve seen them.

They walk from table to table, glance at the board, make a move, and keep going.

Somehow, they keep all the positions in their heads.

Somehow, they win.

That’s how I feel sometimes building products with AI.

One tab has research.
Another has a prototype.
Another has copy.
Another has code.
Another has a new idea I definitely should not be chasing right now.

And because AI makes me faster, I trick myself into thinking I have more capacity.

But I don’t.

I just have more speed.

There’s a difference.

Speed is a gift.
But speed without focus is just faster wandering.

That’s the trap.

I can get things to 80% quickly.
Sometimes 90%.

But 90% done is not done.

And twenty things at 90% can feel productive while quietly producing nothing finished.

That one stings because I know it’s true.

The temptation is to say, “Since I’m faster now, I can chase more.”

More projects.
More ideas.
More experiments.
More tabs.
More rabbits.

But speed doesn’t help you chase twenty rabbits.

It helps you catch one rabbit faster.

Then, after you’ve actually caught it, you can decide whether to chase the next one.

That’s focus.

Not moving slowly.
Not thinking small.
Not becoming less ambitious.

Focus is pouring all your speed, creativity, research, energy, and execution into one direction long enough for it to become finished.

The question is not, “How many things can I move forward?”

The better question is:

What is the one thing that, if finished, would make everything else easier or irrelevant?

That’s the rabbit.

Not the most interesting thing.
Not the newest thing.
Not the thing that gives you the fastest dopamine hit.

The one thing.

The thing that matters most.

For me, I’m learning that AI doesn’t remove the need for discipline.

It actually makes discipline more important.

Because when the tools get faster, distraction gets louder.

The cost of chasing the wrong thing drops so low that it becomes easy to waste entire weeks being “productive.”

So maybe the move is simple:

Pick the rabbit.

Name it.

Chase it hard.

Ignore the others until it’s caught. (My wife help keep me in check on this one… and I can’t say it easy for me)

That’s the One Rabbit Strategy.

Speed is not for going everywhere at once.

Speed is for getting where you’re actually called to go.

One thing have I asked of You.
One thing shall I seek.
Read Psalm 27:4
