Procrastination vs Planning. Chaos vs Order. Risky vs Safe. When thinking about the future (an area of massive uncertainty), we must constantly confront such a spectrum. How should we go about making decisions in such a world? On one hand, we can make the decision early and attempt to reduce uncertainty, asserting a sense of structure and assurance. Budgeting exactly your spend for the month to reduce financial uncertainty. Booking a flight early to reduce cost uncertainty. Scheduling a meeting to reduce time uncertainty. Completing schoolwork early to reduce stress uncertainty. Deciding your career in high school to reduce satisfaction uncertainty. In general, these decisions are seen as safe, risk-averse methods to live a less stressful and more “stable” life. In a world where control is easily attainable and predictability abounds, this can be a valuable approach.
I love this Mehul!! I’ve found that if I try to be productive 24/7 it leads to burnout, but if I allow my mind to relax and brainstorm, I’m 10 times more creative and energized when I actually start working hahahha
