If you have two choices, choose the harder – Paul Graham

July 12th, 2010 by Charles Ma Leave a reply »

Wise words in one of Paul Graham’s essays:

If you have two choices, choose the harder. If you’re trying to decide whether to go out running or sit home and watch TV, go running. Probably the reason this trick works so well is that when you have two choices and one is harder, the only reason you’re even considering the other is laziness. You know in the back of your mind what’s the right thing to do, and this trick merely forces you to acknowledge it.
