# [[Should I do the thing?]]
2+
3+
[[Should I do the thing?]]:
4+
5+
### Is the thing worth doing?
6+
7+
* [[y]] yes
8+
* [[n]] no
9+
10+
[[y]]:
11+
12+
### Is it worth doing by me in particular?
13+
14+
* [[yy]] yes!
15+
* [no](yn), someone else is better suited.
16+
17+
[yn]:
18+
19+
### Wait a hot minute. Is this [impostor syndrome](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-is-impostor-syndrome/) talk?
20+
21+
* [[yy]] oops, yes, haha :) nevermind!
22+
* [[dontdo]] no, I am legitimately unqualified, and am only considering the thing as an advanced form of procrastination from the thing I *actually* mean to be doing, and/or the thing that is actually a better way *for me* to contribute to humanity/society/knowledge/art/environment
23+
24+
25+
[[yy]]:
26+
27+
### Is doing the thing going to take a surprising amount of resources (time, energy, money, or goodwill)?
28+
29+
* [[nope]], this is going to go swimmingly and precisely as I plan it!
30+
31+
[[nope]]:
32+
33+
### That seems unlikely, so let's imagine that it does become a surprising burden in _some_ way. How far over its budget (of time, energy, money, or goodwill) can the thing go and still be worth doing, _and_ worth doing _by me_?
34+
35+
* [[spreadthin]] Not at all, I am an extremely busy person already spread exceptionally thin.
36+
* [[23x]] Like, twice or three times what I imagine.
37+
* [[infinity]] It doesn't matter, the thing is my ultimate calling, it can sap me dry and I will be the happier for it!
38+
39+
[[infinity]]:
40+
41+
That is demonstrably an unproductive way to go, because I am a meatbag with 24 hours in each day, several of them - ideally - asleep, and the wakeful ones permeated by the looming spectre of inescapable mortality. Therefore:
42+
43+
# I will not neglect myself in the name of the thing.
44+
45+
Firstly, because it is unkind to myself and normalizes this kind of behavior to others. Secondly, because if I neglect myself, I will quickly be unable to do the thing well, or maybe at all, and there is no place for that kind of irony in the wide-eyed quest for productivity!
46+
47+
48+
[[23x]]:
49+
50+
# I will do the thing!
51+
52+
But also I will make sure to articulate measurable goals and keep myself accountable, and, if it turns out the thing metastasizes to other areas of life, I will seriously consider not doing the thing anymore. I will not let the sunk cost fallacy dictate my sanity.
53+
54+
[[finalyes]]:
55+
56+
# I will do the thing!
57+
58+
(and maybe, just maybe I might leave comments or suggestions for this thing on [this public FB post](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10208065569305025&set=a.2092313835444.2107842.1473210122&type=3&theater)...)
59+
60+
61+
[[spreadthin]]:
62+
63+
### Wait, so why am I considering doing the thing?
64+
65+
* [[opportunity]] I feel an all-consuming desire to sneak into a narrow window of opportunity.
66+
* [[sayno]] Someone asked me to do the thing, and saying "no" to them is hard.
67+
68+
[[sayno]]:
69+
70+
Saying "no" _is_ really hard!
71+
72+
But it's even hard to say "no" from under a guilt-ridden pile of incomplete work while apologizing and shaking from 2 hours of sleep.
73+
74+
# I shouldn't do the thing and I already know it.
75+
76+
[[opportunity]]:
77+
78+
The sense of a quickly-evaporating opportunity is, for the _vast majority_ of things, imaginary.
79+
80+
If the thing is worth doing, it'll be worth doing next year. If next year I consider the thing and I am still unable to make sufficient room in my life for it, then I will be grateful and happy that my life is filled with such meaningful things worth doing already.
81+
82+
# I will not do the thing, and also I will consider taking a nice walk, right now, why not, life is short and beautiful.
83+
84+
[[dontdo]]:
85+
86+
# I will do some other thing. There are lots of things I can do!
87+
88+
* [[but]] other people tell me my options are limited...
89+
90+
[[but]]:
91+
92+
When people give advice, even in the best conscience and with excellent relevant experience, they are speaking to their own past selves. I don't have to accept their words at face value, but I can still benefit from them and be greatful for them.
93+
94+
95+
[[n]]:
96+
97+
### Is it wrong to do, relative to my value system?
98+
99+
* [yes](ny), *but*....
100+
* [not *actively* wrong](nn) but also not *right*...
101+
* (no, just [no](justno) is not an option)
102+
103+
[justno]:
104+
105+
You indicated that the thing is not worth doing. If you think something is not worth doing, but it is a right thing to do, how is that consistent?
106+
107+
[ny]:
108+
109+
### Is it necessary?
110+
111+
* [[dontdo]] nope
112+
* [[kindayes]] right now, it is 100% inescapable
113+
114+
[nn]:
115+
116+
### Will it expand my imagination or capability?
117+
118+
* [no...](nnn)
119+
* [[kindayes]] yes!
120+
121+
[nnn]:
122+
123+
### Will it allow me to have more resources for other things, which are good and important?
124+
125+
* [no...](ny)
126+
* [[kindayes]] [yes!](kindayes)
127+
128+
[[kindayes]]:
129+
130+
# Nothing is over until it's over.
131+
132+
I will do the thing, but work to change my life so that something which feels *so wrong* is not *so necessary*.
133+
134+
* Change may take time, and
135+
* many things may be out of my influence, and
136+
* much may not turn out as I hope, so:
137+
138+
Ss long as I am doing my best, I will not punish myself unnecessarily for doing the thing, even if it goes against some of my values.
