Why You Make Terrible Life Choices āœļø

ā€œHow did I end up hereā€¦ā€ - by Andrew Mitson

Age 0 to 16 you make (almost) zero important life choices.

Then you hit 16 and suddenly all you do is make important life choices…

What A Levels do I pick? Which universities do I apply to? Job or masters? Which job? Which masters? Which partner? Etc.

And asking adults doesn’t help either.

ā€œSo what should I do?ā€ is a terrible question.

It’s like asking your maths teacher ā€œWhat’s the answer?ā€ instead of ā€œHow do I find the answer?ā€

Rather than furiously copy-and-pasting what everyone else is doing, here’s a 3-step framework to make the best life decisions for you šŸ‘‡

Something To Make You Think šŸ¤”

Consider the different areas of your life. Where are youĀ overinvesting? And where are youĀ underinvesting?

Lately I’ve spent too much time working on stuff I don’t care about. I’ve cut my workday to 6 hours (I usually work more but only because it’s so fun). And literally cut outĀ allĀ the things I don’t care about, even if they make £££. I’ll take freedom over money any day of the week āœŒļø

Meanwhile, I haven’t spent enough time nurturing my creativity. I’ve written two screenplays I need to film; I have songs stuck in my head I need to compose; I have artistic visions I need to paint!


Extremely Interesting Fact šŸ¤“
