flamingsword: “in my defense, I was left unsupervised” (Default)
I am thinking about how I plan things during my decision making process, and how I don't actually know how other people plan things. I know that people do instinctive cost-benefit analyses, but that people regularly forget to account for opportunity costs. Do they account for emotional drain costs like continued fear in paralysis situations? Because sitting still and doing nothing in a situation that feels bad makes you feel trapped, which leads to learned helplessness and anxiety. Making myself DO THE THING all the time even when I hated it and was depressed was part of how I got over my anxiety.

If you have never heard of the Cult of Done I highly recommend taking two months to try this paradigm for living. Other than radical honesty, it is the most freeing thing I've ever found.



In other news, I am deliberately getting nothing done today. Getting things done is how I wore myself down enough to get here. Stupid brain decisions made on years of data that no longer apply to the current situation. *grumbles*
