living on autopilot

This page is from my personal notes, and has not been specifically reviewed for public consumption. It might be incomplete, wrong, outdated, or stupid. Caveat lector.
  • Some things are genuinely hard to do. But many others I don't do just out of laziness, or maybe lack of agency. I know that they're worth doing, and that I could do them if I really had to, but I just don't.
  • I think part of this is that my sense of possibility feels closed off, maybe from working at a company, maybe from not being around ambitious young people. So even things I rationally know are good ideas don't 'feel' worth doing.
  • Examples:
    • not seeking out some alternative to twice-weekly therapy with Therapist for the four years. It would have been (and would be) work, and I might not have found the right person immediately, but it would have been worth it and I knew it.
