Because one of the great things that drives analysis paralysis that you've been experiencing as you're sitting here looking down infinite highways in infinite directions is is that every decision that you're considering feels like some kind of large commitment, or it feels like a major shift, or it feels like it's going to set your path in some totally different direction.
Because you don't know which one to commit to, you feel like you don't know which direction to go in at all. So what happens if you just treat it like an experiment? What experiments can you run that don't require years of new work, To see if you can find situations that move you a little closer to that goal. And maybe taking a forestry job and saying, you know what?

I'm going to give this six months. I'm going to see if I feel better about it. Maybe even... Set a goal and see if in six months you have achieved it. Here could be a goal. I've given you these four things that you want. Autonomy, feeling challenged, feeling fully utilized, and finding meaning. And you have given numbers to these things for your current situation.

Take the forestry job six months later, fill out that chart, one to 10. Did everything move up at least one or two notches? If so, I would say good experiment, right? Like good experiment. If they moved down two notches, then the experiment was a failure and it's time to do something else. But maybe that was progress.

And maybe that means that you stay in forestry for another six months or whatever. Or maybe it means that, you know, it's time to go try the watercress farm or whatever, right? But...

I think that once you have some sense of exactly what you're working towards and a way to measure it in some way, then making changes that don't feel crazy but feel logical are really just going to start to expand your understanding of what you want and the many different ways you can get it.

And if you think about trying to fix a computer, which I know very little about trying to fix a computer, and you probably do too, considering your line of work. But one thing that we can imagine here is that if you want to try to fix a computer, what you don't do is get your hands in and just change every damn thing every single time and see what happens. No, you change one thing at a time, right?
