I’m a compulsive busy-body. If I don’t have a way of keeping myself busy, I tend to go a little bit crazy. Understanding my goals is key to me being psychologically well.
I think this is why ideology like libertarianism appeals to me, because it gives me a broader goal to scheme towards since life is so open ended.
One part of succeeding is finding something you enjoy, another part is winnowing out things that are less important.
There are many things that can give you intermediate success relatively quickly. These are traps because once you do it, you tend to distract yourself from your trip deeper down the rabbit hole.
The rabbit hole is your home, and these things can make you forget that.
