In the past, I’ve run into a problem where if I start giving up on lotuses in general, I start losing motivation to do anything at all.
Also, mediocre video games suddenly become a lot more appealing when I have work to avoid. :)
Yeah. I think giving up on things that are appealing, doesn’t work. That’s why I titled this about noticing the taste of lotus, rather than noticing lotuses. We have to use proxy goals. The trick is, noticing when we’re getting Goodharted.
