Definitely a “woah bruh 420 blaze it” kind of thought this eve, but I’m wondering if there is a philosophy, lifestyle, or technique that addresses this:

I often wish for some way of making anything worth doing, therefore removing the need to judge whether something is worth doing.

Many hours of my “free time” outside of work are a struggle of meta-evaluation re: “time investment” and feel it would be so much more peaceful to outgrow this mindset

Edit: Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and advice. Seeing both simple truths and nuanced anecdotes makes for wonderful reading, and I’m glad I put this question out there ✨

    I get what you mean about “woah bruh” but this is actually a very good question. It’s also very difficult to answer because what we value is very personal to each of us. My advice is if something piques your interest or looks enjoyable then try it. You’ll find out then if it’s worth doing. If not that’s fine, you won’t waste any time wondering. The funny thing about regret is it’s better to regret something you’ve done than to regret something you haven’t done.

      Keep it simple, simple things makes living easier. Do not idealize your reality or you will just keep complaining about everything instead of doing something about it.
